amateur Posted May 15, 2014 Share #2552 Posted May 15, 2014 I know I should know her name. One of these crazy looking monitors.... HMS whats his name... Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted May 15, 2014 Share #2553 Posted May 15, 2014 It's called a breastwork monitor, by the way, and it is british. (and now I have to return to work ) Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slog Posted May 15, 2014 Share #2554 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Hi Jason, Is it HMVS Cerberus? Based on the 'tenuous connection' I have changed my guess to HMS Glatton? As I believe wolverines are also referred to as gluttons Slog Edited May 15, 2014 by Captain Slog Quote _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ HM Bark Endeavour (First Wood, On Hold) Borodino (1:200 Card, Current Build) Admiral Nakhimov (card 1/200) Mazur D-350 Artillery Tractor (1:25 Card) F-8 Crusader (1:48 Aircraft, Plastic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Wellington Posted May 15, 2014 Share #2555 Posted May 15, 2014 Jan - you're correct, its British - hoped the flag would give you that Slog - Not HMS Glatton, but close. This ship was lauched in the same year, and she was bore the same name as her small class. (you'll notice this ship has two turrets, I believe Glatton only had one).

Beef Wellington Posted May 15, 2014 Share #2557 Posted May 15, 2014 Negative Nigel, but nice try! - name connection is to Dave's ship HMS Wolverine...there aren't that many monitors so with the clues given should be easy to narrow down... Monitor Launched in 1871 Her name is the same as her class Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

Doreltomin Posted May 15, 2014 Share #2559 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Aaah, Nigel, you were faster than me! I was just trying to write here about the same thing when the site said "there are two more answers to show".... if she's not the HMS Glatton then she must be one of the Cyclops class of 1870: HMS Cyclops, HMS Gorgon, HMS Hecate, HMS Hydra. Later edit: With the last clue "name the same as her class" that makes: HMS Cyclops! So congratulations Nigel, seems you got her!

egkb Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2565 Posted May 16, 2014 Dang I think I found her... am reluctant to answer as it might mean my turn next... Here Goes.. The Dredger Esk ! I found some photos very similar to the boat in your photos in her 'glory days' with the Grab up front and nicely painted (there was an RC model of her too, now I've just spotted her on a cover of Model Boat Magazine !!)

egkb Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2567 Posted May 16, 2014 Found her by typing 'Small Old Grab Dredgers' into Google and trawling through the results for something similar in shape..

egkb Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2568 Posted May 16, 2014 All righty then.. here's something.. I can't guarantee it hasn't been used before as her Number was already erased in this photo, (my original photo of this scene was way too small to be of use so I had to find a larger one ! and this is it) There is one pretty big hint in the photo.. massive in fact but I thought she was an interesting looking vessel with an odd forward gun arrangement. Either her name in the photo or her previous name will be ok..

egkb Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2570 Posted May 16, 2014 Not Gib, at least I think it isn't Gib ! but there is one other rock that is iconic.. and that will give the nationality (that's what makes me feel it isn't Gib) The Belgrano isn't soo far away.. (in at least 2 respects) Wrong Nationality but I think they came from the same original Stable! Have another go , you are sooo close!

Beef Wellington Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2573 Posted May 16, 2014 Must be the Brazilian navy's Barasso, ex-USS Philadelphia.

NMBROOK Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2574 Posted May 16, 2014 I think Belgrano,ex USS Pheonix was Brooklyn class.Several were sold to South American countries post war,some to Brazil and one to Chile?Rock has to be Rio de Janeiro,but from an odd angle.

egkb Posted May 16, 2014 Share #2575 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) That's the Bunny Jason and being Brazilian I'm thinking the Rock must be Rio and the Sugarloaf.. she is a sister to Belgrano (I was very tempted to give it to Nigel on that alone) it was the rear pointing 3rd forward turret that caught my attention! I got Nigels from seeing she was a dredger then Googling Dredgers... then Old Dredgers.. then Small Old Grab Dredgers (after realising she was a Grab Dredger) she was a lovely old thing. Take it away Jason.. E Just spotted your Post Nigel, you were on the right track but Jason pipped you !

Beef Wellington Posted May 17, 2014 Share #2577 Posted May 17, 2014 Sorry Nigel, feel like a bit of a stinker The biggest surprise here is that I got it without seeing your clues Eamonn (had just been watching a classic Bond movie with my son, expecting to hear crickets chirping on the dredger photo but checked in anyway!)

Beef Wellington Posted May 17, 2014 Share #2580 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) You got it Nigel, your go. Eamonn - actually not that much, but think its nice to have a little something else to go on if the ship is not overly distinctive. Of course we've had Euphrates, Arklow (x) etc. Edited May 17, 2014 by Beef Wellington egkb, NMBROOK and mtaylor 3 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"
