Name the Ship Game

[amateur]

When i get back from the work ill do it again...

 

You mean: posting including the name?

 

From own experience I can tell: sometimes names are hidden in the clouds, in the waves, in the filename, of just plainly written on the sides of the ship....

Russian Battleship SLAVA (Borodino class) ??

[Anja]

Hello Crackers (a.k.a. Anthony),

 

This one's easy. The picture contains the name of the ship.

It's the Russian Battleship Borodino.

 

But I thought it was Pav's turn?

 

Take care,

Ok, so now we have to include the name of the ship – but doesn't that take some of the fun away?

However, Anja, I have to say I don't see it, where the name?

Crackers, I take it the naval battle was Tsoushima in 1905, against the Japanese?

[trippwj]

Kester - when you click on the picture to enlarge it the name of the ship is the name of the picture.

[Anja]

Wayne, thank you for answering Kester's question.

 

No Kester, we don't include the name. That's taking all the fun out of the game.

Crackers was just fooling around a bit.

 

We just wait for Pav to find a good one for us to search, without including the name.

 

Take care,

 

Anja

Kester;

 

Click on the picture, it is in the name of the picture.

 

I remember someone else doing that on the old MSW

If you click on the photo the file name includes the ship name.

[maaaslo]

ok, lets try again. i have searched the picture for any clues, even scrolled down, no names appears at all. do we need to add any hints?

That one is interesting - it looks familiar for some reason, but not sure why.  I would hold off on hints for a while and see what folks come up with!

[Anja]

Hello Pav,

 

No, you don't have to include any hints yet.

Although some will not agree with me.

 

And now I'm off to do some searching.

 

Take care,

 

Anja

[maaaslo]

 

im glad i have not messed it again. shall i do first hint tomorrow?

[Cristiano]

it remind me a british troopship of the first world war, but refining the research can be a very big problem...

[Cristiano]

in my opinion can be a white star line ship, like the RMS ADRIATIC , which served as a troop ship, too.

[TRJ]

I think you are spot on unless you consider the name on the ship, which is not legible :-(, however it's only 6 characters. I can make out Liverpool below though.

 

So which of the other big four is it then? Baltic, Celtic or Cedric?

 

Can't find the exact picture though!

[Barnacle Bill]

Could be a Boer War Toopship, RMS Hellenic/Britannic of White Star Line ?

[Cristiano]

Well, theoretically you can make three or four posts naming a ship in each one...so you solve the problem!

[TRJ]

Hi Christiano,

 

In any event if its any of the three I named, I will yield to you, as you did the thinking on it, I merely checked your hunch.

But you are right, shouldn't shoot a salvo like that.

 

Cheers

Hello Pav,

 

It looks like the R.M.S. Taroba.

 

Take care,

 

Anja

[maaaslo]

Nope, none of your guesses is right. She was not a troop ship in any wars, altough she was somehow involved with troops in ww1.

Hope its not too much help.

Of for now, i have to go to work. Today im going to do deliveries in londons rush hour...

[TRJ]

Ok, rms Campania, taken into service as HMS Campania in WW1 after finishing her life as an ocean liner.

 

Cheers

No, it is not Royal Mail Ship...

[maaaslo]

Sorry, wrong answer, i will correct myself later. Im driving now...

[Stockholm tar]

Kester, you are correct.

 

Montani semper liberi. Happy modeling to all and every one of you.

  Crackers   

I am? I didn't know I'd said anything.

 

(Re. clicking on the picture. I think I would have realised that, if my cursor had passed over it, which it didn't.)

[slagoon]

Is it the P&O arabia? http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/PO_Liners1.html

[amateur]

Was Arabia a hospital ship (at least, that's what I think the troop-connection in WWI is)?

 

Jan

[slagoon]

No it doesn't seem to  have been. If Wikipedia is correct it was actually a passenger liner that was torpedoed by a submarine in 1916...she had a sister ship the Egypt who looked similar who did work as a hospital ship during the war... I suppose it could be either one of them...they look VERY similar.

[maaaslo]

She was not torpedoed, she sunk after the collision in bay Biskay and later become very visited for one purpouse. She indeed was hospital ship during ww1. Enough hints, one of you was veeeeery close already.

I think Slagoon actually mentioned her?

 

Jan

[slagoon]

Ok I'll say it more straightforward SS Egypt? http://www.deepimage.co.uk/wrecks/egypt/egypt_mainpages/egypt_history.htm
