Name the Ship Game


RMS Olympic

Recommended Posts

Kevin -

 

Because of the length of the bowsprit and jbboom on many clippers, the jibboom was rigged to be retracted at wharf side to avoid entanglement r damage from wagons and carts passing by.

Dang - that was an easy one I guess!  I figured an obscure old steamer built where my better half was born and raised would take a tad longer than that!

 

Yep - Steamer Tremont being lanuched in Brewer, Maine in 1895 for the Bangor and Bar Harbor Steam Boat Company.

 

Thanks for the good wishes, Anja - and now you get to post the next one!

Thanks Wayne,

 

The title of the picture gave it away.

 

Here is mine. She was named, renamed and underwent modernization.

 

Enjoy the search.

The Brazilian Battleship Aquidabã (Aquidaban), renamed after the rebellion in 1894 to Dezesseis de Abril (16th of April) and then to Vinte e Quatro de Maio (24th of May) before being renamed to her original name in 1900.

dear players. picture of the mysterious ship i have posted is not See Adler. However, the page i took it from has got title Monkbarns or See-adler... so in this case, we could take this answer as correct, as these ships aparently lookd almost identical.

source of the picture here: 

http://monkbarns.wordpress.com/tag/captain-james-donaldson/

 

source that winner probably found here:

http://monkbarns.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/a-sailors-life-28-monkbarns-or-see-adler-1917/

 

 as you can see, ships look identical, i would say the pictures are the same. but the real ships were not the same. one of them was German raider, the other was the British sailing ship Monkbarns, circa 1918. German ship probably was built to look like british to slip through blockade...

so all in all, Trippwj, your turn...

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

as i mentioned in my post, monkbarns was the ship i meant in my turn. but since there were two possibilities, i have to accept See Adler too...

No, not the Snow squall.  Yes, a transplant from Maine or, as they refer to us here in Arkansas, a Damn Yankee (that's one who came here and stayed).

Sorry Sarah - not the Red Jacket (and they are difficult to tell apart!).

 

Spyglass - you are correct - it is indeed the Nightingale.  She carried Jenny Lind as her figure head, and there are some interesting tales concerning the figurehead still today!

 

Your turn, Spyglass!
