After scanning lots of "SS Freighters great lakes", I came accros a certain Daniel Morell, which broke up in 1966, which is indeed not as far back as 1965 Jan
-
hmmm... she sailed until 1965. That's not so far back. Was almost born then .... Jan

Rifling isn't usefull with front loaders.... You wouldn't be able to ram the ball into the gun Jan

SS Mataafa?
-
Edmund, Edward, sounds all the same to me Yeah, I mean the other Fitzgerald, ofcourse. Jan
-
Ofcourse, we would have been disappointed in your abilities if it did NOT fit the bore. Jan
-
Although searching along those lines, inevitable ends up at Edmundward Fitzgerald.....
-
I guess Andy did a search for some obscure laker, going down in a freak gale, leaving only one fuzzy picture of her in some obscure book.... Jan

great lakes, here we come

grrrrr.... one minute.....oh well, at least there is no need for me to look for a picture of Arklow Friesland
-
one of 16 It's a churruca clas destroyer, there are 16 of them.... Jan
-
Santissima, I said
-
It does look like Kortenaer, but I don't think 'we' even had a double white band around the funnel... Jan
-
But the spanish alsedo-class (early twenites) has 4 funnels, and not 2 The other class is not early twenties, but does look very, very much like yours. (or is 1925 still early, in your definition?) Jan
-
Yeah, santissima trinidad
-
Which cuts do you mean, actually? Those oval shaped 'holes' in the stern are made by Mamoli. The gratings are glued on to the deck, and a small strip of wood (slightly thicker than the deck planking is glued around them. The gratings themseleves are build up from prefabricated (by Mamoli) strips of wood. Jan

Yes, it is the newest Friesland. I was hoping you would have some problems in finding her. (There is almost no reference of her under the HrMs abbreviation, and she only in service since early this year.) Jan
-
Here it is
-
hmmm... didn't expect that. I'll look for an other ship. Give some minutes Jan
-
Hi Remco, Since when is 'you can't see it in the final result' a valid argument for you? (oops, did I say that ?? ) Jan

The paint-no paint is one you can only answer yourself. Frohlich is very mucht on the non-paint side. I took a small text-fragment from one of my books written by Ab Hoving (Ships of Abel Tasman), former head of the ship-department in the Dutch Rijksmuseum. He is using modelmaking as a way of discovering how ships at the time were build, and how they did look/could have looked. From tha point, he takes a very strong position in the paint debate:

Just a guess: HMCS Niobe?
-
Gentlemen, I did a little bit of shopping: I flipped the picture. It is indeed Gelderland (I posted her before in her new appearances.) She was a Dutch ship, build around the turn of the precvious century (HOlland Clas Cruiser, laid down in 1898), the Germans took her over and did a rebuild into a Flak ship (Niobe) aroudn 1943. Her largest feat was the fact that she took Paul Kruger from South Afrika to Europe after the BoerWar. The picture is taken in her period in life that she was fitted for being a target ship in 1941 (already in German service) Jan

Gentlemen, On the wrong track altogether. Although roughly correct datewise. Jan
