Name the Ship Game

[trippwj]

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.

[trippwj]

So, then, Here is the next one to consider!

 

[Anja]

Hello Wayne,

 

This one was easy. It's the steamer Tremont.

 

Hope you feel better soon!

 

Take care,

 

Anja

[trippwj]

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!

[Anja]

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.

[Anja]

Wayne, you are right. Congratulations.

 

It is indeed the Aquidaban in 1885. This picture is from 1897.

 

It's your turn again .....

 

[trippwj]

Hmmm... since the last one was so easy, let's try another!

 

[maaaslo]

Her name was dirigo...

[trippwj]

Well done, Pav.  It is, indeed, the Dirigo.  Built in Maine using British plans, steel and labor.

 

Your turn!

[maaaslo]

Inthink i just have a lits of luck googling the pictures... When ill have access to the computer i will post another one...

[maaaslo]

 

right, house chores done, time for a game again... finally...

 

 

 

[Anja]

Pav, just a wild guess here,

 

Is it the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa?

[JohnE]

Chilean ship Sandoval?

 

John

[trippwj]

German sailing ship raider See-Adler?

[amateur]

Searching for See Adler I found her ....

 

Jan

[Anja]

Well Wayne,

 

You are really on a roll here. What's next?

 

Anja

[trippwj]

Let's see what maaaslo has to say first - there is one other possibility as well.

[st george]

I'm lost. Who has it right and what is the ship. Jan says he found it but gives no name?

[Anja]

Hello St George,

 

Jan was just replying to the name Wayne gave.

We think Wayne is right, but we have to wait untill Pav (Maasll) gives the oke.

 

Take care,

 

Anja

[maaaslo]

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...

[trippwj]

Would it be the Monkbarns?

[maaaslo]

 

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...

[trippwj]

Thank you, Pav - I think our posts crossed paths on the internet!

 

Here is the next vessel to consider:

 

[trippwj]

Hmmmm....this vessel was variously described as one of the most beautiful nd most interesting ships of the clipper era....and did I mention she was built in Maine?

[slagoon]

Snow Squall? I'd think you were from Maine with all these ME ships

[trippwj]

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).

[slagoon]

Red Jacket then? All these clippers look alike!

[trippwj]

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!

[Kevin]

lol - can someone please pm when there is a vessel I can answer- or we have a submarine one on
