Seahorse Posted November 4, 2013 #1831 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I don't believe it,I thought that may have been hard Well done Seahorse,over to you Kind Regards Nigel When I first looked, I thought the same thing..."this is not going to be easy".... Mulled over it last night, and first thing this morning I took closer look at the picture in iPhoto. Zoomed in, enhanced it and adjusted the sharpness and contrast etc and what appears on the foremast...a crescent and star flag (well, at least what I thought it looked like..!!!)... She was a Turk Seached "Turkish Three Deck Ship of the Line"....and after a bit of fine tuning...there she was. "MAHUDIYE" OK, am off to my pic collection to find something requiring some detective work to solve...... Edited November 4, 2013 by Seahorse Quote
Seahorse Posted November 4, 2013 #1832 Posted November 4, 2013 OK, this one is for the modern day sailor. As far as I am aware this vessel is unique...a floating test-bed....Look closely, as it has something, that no other ship has. (As far as I am aware). I will make it little easier with a clue......

jud Posted November 4, 2013 #1838 Posted November 4, 2013 That would explain the uniform and balanced flooding. With that much flooding that type of vessel having limited counter flooding ability's she should have rolled over if afloat. jud Quote

But... it's not a laker?!? Jan A heavy low centre of gravity cargo may help keep her upright or there-a-bouts, else she may have settled on the bottom! Hmmmmm just how deep are those Lakes? Not a 'Laker' Jan but perhaps sailing 'on' the lakes!

realworkingsailor Posted November 4, 2013 #1841 Posted November 4, 2013 Nordmeer chaps! - but i cheated !! (accidentaly used Google images - not the done thing I feel!) Didn't think that was cheating..... Anyway... Yeah, that's the Nordmeer. She ran aground in Northern Lake Huron in mid November 1966 (navigational error ). Efforts were made to get her off, and the crew stayed on board. 2 weeks later on November 29 a very bad storm struck, which put her in the condition you see here. She was declared a total constructive loss. Incidentally, that same storm was the one that sank the Daniel J Morell, with the loss of all but one crew member (Denis Hale). A coastguard boat that was removing crew from the Nordmeer was called away to assist looking for survivors of the other wreck. When I started sailing, there were still large parts of the Nordmeer visible above the water, but over the years, ice and waves have reduced her to fragments, and nothing is visible anymore. The last time I recall seeing any bit of her was some time around 2006 or so. Andy Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

NMBROOK Posted November 5, 2013 #1847 Posted November 5, 2013 Kalakala? Rgds Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
Beef Wellington Posted November 5, 2013 #1848 Posted November 5, 2013 You got it Nigel, well done. MV Kalakala was notable for her unique streamlined superstructure, art deco styling, and luxurious amenities. The vessel was a popular attraction for locals and tourists, and was voted second only to the Space Needle in popularity among visitors to Seattle during the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. The ship is known as the world's first streamlined vessel for her unique art deco styling. Today she is in a little bit of a sad way despite attempts to restore her.

My eyes are wrecked looking through Battleships and then onto Battle cruisers.. that's where I spotted the Tripod arrangement on some Japanese ships and thought it worth a closer look! at one point I thought it was the Kongo, and that's when I found the actual photo Eamonn Edited November 5, 2013 by egkb Quote Current Build : HM Schooner Ballahoo In the Pipeline : HM Cutter Sherbourne, HM Mortar Convulsion, Emma C Berry & C18th English Longboat..
