[TRJ]

For all of you who have been waiting, this one is easy - up to a point -

 

 

 

 

There are two more ships with the same name in the last century.

[egkb]

Found it but I cheated  am heading away shortly on holidays, so won't ruin others fun as I wouldn't be able to post a question myself, did I mention the cheating?

Enjoy the holidays Eamonn

[egkb]

[NMBROOK]

Rgds Nigel

[TRJ]

Aha, you have the class right, its a Flower Class

 

The nasty part is which one?

Tjeerd

[TRJ]

Perhaps a hint would work.

 

It was the 2nd ship of the same of the name during WW2.

 

Cheers

Think I'm right in saying the first one sank a couple of hundred miles north of my town...

Would love to have taken part in this,  but Rome beckons!

_{HMS Godetia, K226. Originally HMS Dart?}

[TRJ]

Well done!

 

HMS Godetia was by the way almost exclusevly manned by Belgians in RN service. The Belgian Navy therefore has a vessel by the same name, a logistic support vessel . BNS Godetia, NATO number A960.

 

Over to you!

 

Tjeerd

[st george]

Next from me.

 

 

Good Luck

[amateur]

I hope someone came over to rescue her..... (him?)

John H. Amos?

[st george]

Well done Cristiano, it is the John H. Amos. Your turn.

[Cristiano]

Thank you!

 

Well, this one will be easy...

Too many clues on the photo, but I liked this photo so I posted it!

[amateur]

I think it ws Jim Baumann who did a 1:700 scale model of this scene....

(but I've no time to search for the naem of this icebreaker)

 

Jan

[Cristiano]

It is an Icebreaker, yes.

 

Sorry, I don't know Mr. Baumann so, if you want to try, please provide a name.

[adrian1958]

Russian icebreaker Krasin

[Cristiano]

Not Krasin

[amateur]

I was also thinking Krassin

(I was referring to this diorama by Jim Bauman:

Jan

[Cristiano]

For Spyglass:  your cirillic is good, it was the Ermak (or Yermak, is good too)!

 

For Amateur: the two icebreakers were rather similar (despite 20 years of difference), but the Krasin had at least the red stars on the stacks.

[CaptainSteve]

Would it be the Henry B. Hyde ??

[molasses]

It's the Elso/Kosack built in 1880. I couldn't make much sense of the Finnish to English translation I found but the 1902 hit-and-run was mentioned. From what I could make out the captain of Kosack removed the name plates and replaced them with Elno name plates after colliding with a Danish ship and fleeing the scene. Elno Sank after springing a bad leak when the cargo shifted in the hold while racing a four masted schooner in heavy weather in 1925.

Name the Ship:

 

This image of a hand colored lithograph is untouched other than cropping to remove the name of the ship across the bottom. And it's not another Euphrates. 

 

Good luck!

Any clues Dave?

[amateur]

She's an American clipper

[muggebigge]

flying cloud

[molasses]

This American extreme clipper (not Flying Cloud) made her maiden voyage in 1853 from New York to San Francisco. Her designer, builder and owners had very high expectations for her but she failed to meet her anticipated top speed of 20 knots or to set any speed records. At almost 2400 tons she was one of the largest of the wooden extreme clippers. She disappears from history after she was later sold by her disappointed owners.

 

The image doesn't show that she was rigged to skysails on all three masts.

 

There are many lists of American clippers on the web but she appears on only one of them (that I have found).

 

Good luck!
