mtaylor Posted March 24, 2014 Share #2492 Posted March 24, 2014 Ah.. Ted. I hate to tell you this but the name of the ship is JPG title. I suggest you pick another ship but rename the picture to something like "mystery ship" or such. Now if the picture name is a red herring, I apologize.

mtaylor Posted March 25, 2014 Share #2494 Posted March 25, 2014 Indeed she is in a sorry state, Jan.

molasses Posted March 29, 2014 Share #2496 Posted March 29, 2014 Well Ladies and Gentlemen, Here I sit properly chastised. I carefully removed names, numbers, etc. from the picture but............. In any event, please consider this Old timer. Think nothing of it, Ted. I have twice posted photos with the name right on the photo. First time I caught it myself. Second time someone commented on it but didn't mention the name. Both times I quickly substituted a corrected photo.

mtaylor Posted March 29, 2014 Share #2497 Posted March 29, 2014 When you've been around model ship building, you know that sometimes crap happens. Same for the "name the ship" game. It happens and there's no chastising. Another hint, some players are known to change or remove the background to ruin anyone using Google Image Search. I'm not a player, just an interested follower.

KevinR Posted April 3, 2014 Share #2499 Posted April 3, 2014 USRC Colfax Colfax, commissioned in 1871, was a 140-foot, 250-ton, side paddlewheel steamer. She was built with a composite hull (iron frames planked with wood) by Dialogue and Wood of Camden, NJ. She spent her career in the waters of the southeast coast, from Baltimore to Savannah. She enforced quarantine restrictions at Fort Monroe in 1893, operated with the USS Vesuvius, the Navy's unique dynamite gun cruiser, in April, 1897, assisted the disabled cutter Morrill in 1898, and hosted President William McKinley in 1899 and was decommissioned in September of that year. She was then used as a station ship in the Coast Guard Depot at Curtis Bay, MD until she was sold in 1924 to Mr. Charles A. Jording of Baltimore, MD, for $1,440. http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/USRC_Photo_Index.asp Quote Kevin Hampton, VA Current Builds: Skipjack Albatross - 1:32 On Hold: Yacht Atlantic - Scientific Completed: Ships Boat - MS - First Planked Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slog Posted April 23, 2014 Share #2505 Posted April 23, 2014 My guess is the Blue Ribbon ship SS Sirius.

KevinR Posted April 23, 2014 Share #2506 Posted April 23, 2014 Captain Slog, You are Correct!! From Wikipedia: "The Sirius was a side-wheel wooden-hulled steamship built in 1837 for the London-Cork route operated by the Saint George Steam Packet Company.[1][2] The next year, she opened transatlantic steam passenger service when she was chartered for two voyages by the British and American Steam Navigation Company.[3] By arriving in New York a day ahead of the Great Western, she is usually listed as the first holder of the Blue Riband, although the term was not used until decades later." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Sirius_%281837%29 Well Done! Captain it is your turn. egkb 1 Quote Kevin Hampton, VA Current Builds: Skipjack Albatross - 1:32 On Hold: Yacht Atlantic - Scientific Completed: Ships Boat - MS - First Planked Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
