slagoon,congrats on naming the ship

indeed she is SS Egypt. have been requisitioned by goverment as hospital ship. she sunk after the collision with french steamer Seine with more than £1000000 pounds worth silver, gold and sovereigns. thats when she become the target for the recovery operation. one of the biggest of that time.

more info in here: http://www.deepimage.co.uk/wrecks/egypt/egypt_mainpages/egypt_history.htm

 

Slagoon, your turn in the game. please find something harder than me.. 

[slagoon]

Just woke up to find that I'm a winner :-D Well I don't know if it will be easy or hard. I did remove the name ON the ship in 3 spots...hopefully the photoshop job isn't too bad but I thought she was a rather neat ship.  I will give hints in 12 hours if no correct answers.

I was actually thinking research vessel - that is one heck of a large "A" frame - submersible launching maybe?

[st george]

Looks like the Nor Sky

[slagoon]

Ding Ding Ding, you, sir are correct Mr. St. George http://www.nautilusminerals.com/s/2008Programs.asp The Nor Sky is a mineral exploration and research vessel. She's not especially famous, but she is really neat looking Congrats.

[st george]

Easy one I think. But I did learn how to post a picture.

Paul Gauguin?  Maybe?

[st george]

Daniel, you nailed it. thought it was easy.

[DSiemens]

Great now what am I going to post hmmmm.....  We need something with sails but not to obvious.  Here we go.  

 

[slagoon]

Daniel you need to rename the file next time.... the name is in it (which I realized after I found the ship!)

[DSiemens]

oops your right.  I made it quick and posted the URL.  All well it's any ones game at this point.  

[DSiemens]

There's a lot of interesting similarities but no it's not nearly that old.   Wish I would have thought of that one though it would have been more fun.

Daniel, just post a new one The other person who made a mistake got another try...go for it.

[DSiemens]

Ok let me see.  You know I thought of this one since it has such a cool story so since I didn't do it before I'll do it now.  

 

[slagoon]

Is it "Ella's Pink Lady" sailed by a miss Jessica Watson sailed and hit the Silver Yang?

[DSiemens]

I was thinking Jessica Watson who sailed around the world at age 16 but yes.  You are way to good at this.  

[slagoon]

no...really I'm not .... but here is a new photo...again with sails hmmm upload failed.....odd dunno what is going on with my account but I can't upload ...and it isn't keeping my smug mug photo....

First I thought mediterranean, but then I realized: it looks like a Dutch or German 'kotter'.

 

going through a list of sail Amsterdam and Sail de Ruyter, I came across her name: Thalassa

 

Jan

[slagoon]

Jan you are correct...

 

Your turn

[amateur]

Ah, that's long ago I have posten one.
Here it comes (dont tell Andy/realworkingsailor, he will not like this one )

[Barnacle Bill]

Is it a Dutch Tug ?

[amateur]

it is

Jan

[realworkingsailor]

Never let Jan win.......

 

I think I've seen this one before....

 

Smit Nordzee (or an identical sister)

 

Andy

[amateur]

Yep, you've seen her before.

Thereofre, I should not accept Noordzee as an answer

 

However, as Rode zee (which is the one in the picture) and Noordzee are completely identical (although guys who actually have sailed on her tell that there are differences between the sisters), feel free to present us a great laker

 

Jan

[realworkingsailor]

Alright... I've got a good one.. I'll have it up soon... Just have to do a little tweaking

 

Andy

[realworkingsailor]

So the rivalry begins anew..

 

Ask and ye shall receive

[trippwj]

I'm guessing it's an older laker.....

[realworkingsailor]

What gave that away?

[Cristiano]

is it maybe the steamer CAPTAIN THOMAS WILSON ?

launched in august 1900.

if not, it is its brother...
