Provmar Terminal II formally the Imperial Sarnia?

Correct Kevin.
The writing on the photo reads: "The old "Chance", as man of war, merchantman, and whaler for over one hundred years. In her last resting place. Bluff, N.Z."
She was owned by Samuel Nichol of Bluff, N.Z. She finished her days as a coal hulk – this was probably when the wind generator was installed. I think she might have been the Chance that managed to escape the ice in the great Whaling disaster of 1871.
Your turn.

I'll try the Waikelo?

Is it the MS Waibalong?
-
Yes it is Wayne. I removed the name and the flag.
She was built in 1886 and sold for scrap in 1910. She had two sister ships the Engeland and the Duitschland. The Duitschland was renamed in 1916 to the Zeeland and used as a Hospital Ship.

Spot on Anja. Your turn

Jan, She was a built a bit later than HMS Bacchante. She did start off as a Screw Corvette but later got redesignated as a third class Cruiser. Her Hull still exists.
