Jan you have the time period right, she sailed under two different flags during her working life, primarily North Sea and Baltic trade. The picture was taken when she sailed under the first flag in the 1920's.

Europe back on line.. ^_^

 

Was just thinking that she looks a lot like the first vessels with Irish Shipping, for instance the Irish Pine.. but the Wheelhouse is slightly different, so I suspect her pedigree is very similar ! the first Irish Shipping vessels were all 'previously owned'.. :rolleyes:

 

Stay Well

Welcome back, Europe. Aemonn, she was built in 1907 by Ropner and Sons Ltd. and and first sailed in British shipping. I have to say that if I had to identify this one I would be hard put. There seem to be so many ships built during that time period that looked very much like her. I think she had a basically unremarkable career except for the ending. :pirate41:  This ship also has personal meaning. Edit: The cannon emoticon may be a little misleading. Her demise was from hostilities, but not from cannon fire.

I'm going to give this one to Werik:

 

Actually it is HrMs Heimdall, one of the steam powered gun boats of the Dutch navy.

She looks a bit like an accomaodatioship, as she was refitted as mine-sweeping vessel.

(were the gun used to be, a kind of 'shed-like' accomodation was erected.)

 

With gun they looked like this:

Well then, here's something a little different. However... having observed the way these mystery ships are quickly dispatched, it wont take any time for you all to "dig" this one up I'm sure. Heh, heh..

It's not surprising that the wreck was deeply covered, and that the river has shifted about a half mile from it's old location. The Missouri and Mississippi rivers have always twisted and turned. That's why river pilots then and now have to have an intimate knowledge of the rivers. They're constantly changing. The rivers also carried vast amounts of American prairie top soil with them that got deposited with spring flooding. These areas became prime farmland, if flood prone. Unfortunately, attempts to control flooding, and to make the rivers more navigable, have resulted in carrying much of this rich soil into the Gulf of Mexico instead of being deposited where it could be utilized as farmland. My two cents worth.
