    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.

    Ahoy!! Is anybody out there?? Dang, I killed the game...

    lets try this. She had several names throughout her working life. I'll take anyone of them.

    I'll see what I can do.

    Seems to be a common beginners mistake. I need to learn some 'puter and photo skilz. I'm not going to have time to hunt for photos and learn the requisite skills before Monday. Don't wanna hold up the game. Andy was runner up in the last ship, and Eamonn, you pointed out my error. One of you guys can have at it. I'll be back when I can post without "giving up" the ship. By the way,the photo of Clas Fleming was taken during her trials after a 1940 refit, a third dummy stack was later added ( I dunno why). I have a commemorative plaque that my father received when he left the ship, and this shows her with three stacks.

    Sorry, it took awhile to figure this out.

    Now that's funny, right there. Dang it!! Let me try again.

    Ok then, here's one that's a favorite of mine for personal reasons. My father served on her during WWII. Should be easy for this bunch.

    All right then, I'm new to playing this game, though I've been following along for some time. I will post something a little later today. Hope I find something challenging, but you all seem to know everything that has or is currently floating. We'll see...

    Yep, I found this picture, reversed, on this site http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageNews/Stories/tabid/116/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/421/language/en-US/The-Great-Lakes-Paddlewheeler-Aircraft-Carriers.aspx., but can't really make out the funnels. In any case, pending a word from Amateur, I will concede this one to you Andy.

    Actually, I think it's USS Sable, not Wolverine, although it could be difficult to tell from a bow shot.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
