Name the Ship Game


RMS Olympic

Recommended Posts

 

would this count? she was a real ship, altough you cannot really say her name or distinguish what she was from just this picture. if it is too hard let me know and i will name her and find a different one.

she was french, and in her times she was top tech...

Pavol stands for Paul, Pablo, Paolo etc. Please do not try to pronounce it, just call me Pav...

The White Ship aka Le Blanche Nef sank crossing the English Channel in 1120.  She carried the only legitimate son of King Henry I of England and over a hundred other members of French and English nobility.

Tjeerd: just google "White Ship Disaster 1120".  I don't recall seeing any contemporary paintings or tapestries showing people on ships in proportion so I don't believe the drawing was contemporary, but it is consistent with contemporary art depicting the disaster.

I am almost certain this guess is probably incorrect.

But, Damn!, there are similiarities to the old girl herself ....

 

So ... here goes (sigh)

Is it USS Constitution ... ??

 

(If so, Congrats on the old picture!!!)

Not Bristol or Conny.  Only a "Blackwall Frigate" by the very loosest interpretation of that description.

Well done, st george.  The photo showed the name Star of India (which I retouched out) near the bow, but the photo was taken before the rig was changed to a barque.  This photo is the only I found of Euterpe/Star of India with a stern gallery.  Earlier photos of Euterpe (before 1901) don't show a stern gallery and those after the rig change (in 1906) also don't show it.  Had hoped that detail would throw you all off.

 

I know the San Diego Maritime Museum claims Star of India as the oldest active sailing vessel in the world, but they have to exclude Constitution from that list, somehow.  She was built in 1863 from iron, one of the first.  Since naval architects and ship wrights didn't know how much iron to use to substitute for the familiar wood framing and sheathing, Euterpe was overbuilt compared to similar iron ships built just a few years later - no doubt a major contributing factor to her longevity.

 

It's your turn, st george.
