A few ended up in Ghana And Nigeria as navy vessels and I've found a picture about a CG vessel Phillipines but not all the details match with picture posted.

Looks like a uscg buoy tender. But which one....
-
You're right Dave. She's easy to find but I coudn't resist posting a pic her. And probably because of her somewhat smaller size compared to the other tallships shes seems not that well known among ship lovers. I think its one of the most beautiful. your turn

Thanks Dave, This time I want to show a ship which I've seen passing by many times about 25 years ago and I always was impressed, by her simple but beautiful lines. The ship is still very active. I hope you all like her as I do,I promise I wont get jealous Menno

The USS Ranger?
-
It went under the names Barbara Mariane, Jalisco, Miami Libra, Miami, Seoul Rickmers, Phoenix, Miami(again) and Epos during her life time? Was she scrapped Feb. 2010 in India? http://www.histarmar.com.ar/MarinaMercanteExtr/MarinaMercanteMexico/Mercantes/Jalisco-3-.htm

Are you sure its the same ship? In picture one the stem is slightly negative and in picture two it is clearly positive. I know ships where modified when getting a new task sometimes, but this?
-
Which is nice in a way too

'The receiving ship Independence ca 1895. I find this image very saddening in contrast to the painting above.' I agree though if you look at her sheerline she must have been completely worn out that time.

That's correct Doreltomin. Over to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbinia

Thanks Eamonn, Here's the next one. Back then by far the fastest boat in the world. Steam powered.
-
Galway Hookers! Sometimes they showed up in Holland and I always was very impressed by them. They are so.... whats the right word here... sturdy! Nice choice Eamonn.
-
Oops, thanks for correcting me.
-
George W. Wells is close enough for me because the picture isn't very clear. The one on the picture is the Annie M. Lawrence. Your turn. Jason

Not so hard to guess as there aren't to many ships build in this class.
-
Yes, I do live in China tho I'm Dutch as can be. Are you the Jan I used to know from a shipyard in Holland?
-
Dutch minesweeper M817 'Venlo'

Thats not a drum roll. That's a loud final bang. PSS Gwalia was her name first name under the ownership of Barry and Bristol Channel Steamship Co.Bristol during the period 1905 - 1910. http://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?11826 your turn
-
Sorry, I haven't noticed we already had Queen of Kent recently otherwise I would have picked another to keep it more interesting. Captain Slog is awfully close with his Glen Gower tho that ship was build in 1922 instead of 1905 and also survived WWII.
-
Hi Jan, If you're talking about the PS Waverly that was build 1899 then yes that ship also served as a minesweeper but the the ship Im talking about served for the navy during a different period and was build in 1905.
-
Thank you David, for posting a beautiful ship. I always like many of the Swedisch ship designs. Now that it's my turn I want to post a picture a ship that I realy like as it fast and agile. She was build in 1905 in Scotland. She went under 3 different names and had 5 diffferent owners (one was the Britisch Royal Navy which used her as a mine sweeper) during her 35 years life time. Unfortunatly it didn't survive WWII (whlile taking part in operation Dynamo). I hope that'll give enough clues. Good luck and happy christmas.

Is it the Waxholm Express II? http://www.skargardsbatar.se/brevik_1909/ Sorry about that sad picture Ah found one better. http://www.tugboatlars.se/WaxholmNS.htm

Quote "Crothers shows these in his book and it took me sometime to figure out how they worked. It starts with the assumption that water will migrate into the scarph joints of the keel. Given that these would be 20' or so below water, there would clearly be pressure pushing the water into the hull - bypassing the caulking of the garboard strake. So, these are placed at the center of the rabbet at the bottom of the lip on the upper tier of the keel. Caulking would rech their ends here, providing a seal across the joint. The tight fit of the cylinder would block water in the joint. Neat detail. There are a few more in the stem and sternpost below the waterline, serving the same purpose. " Yes, there is no way where you can create an uninterupted caulk seam where two seams meet from a different angle simple because you can't reach all under that angle with a caulk chisel. That where you use a wooden nail with a higher expansion capacity then the surrounding wood when exposed to water. We use this method at a shipyard in Holland for restoring for instance botters and it turnes out to be very effective. Keep up the good work. I'm following it with a lot of interest.
