But they not matches completely...

It seems effectively the Pola, probably you are right.

 

The plane on the foredeck was used not for fight but for exploration of the operating zone of the ship (it was a pre-radar period).

It was launched with a catapult and after its duty it was recovered and placed again on the catapult with a crane.

oh well i was close - close in the respect that it was a big grey ship thing,

 

Never mind that  my submission was the wrong name, wrong country, and bore no resemblance to the photo posted

So, sorry about the wait, it was a long work day. The advantage is with the non-europeans for the next 8 hours..

Here is the next mystery ship.

Other way round Andy.

 

Kilkis used to be USS Mississippi and Limnos was the USS Idaho. But it is the Kilkis Sunk in the foreground.

Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati

 

Next Build : 18th Century Longboat

Posted (edited)

Now why did I think it might be difficult?

 

Killkis, ex Mississipi, US pre dreadnought battleship, bought by Greece in 1914, sunk by German dive bombers In 1941.

 

Technically I'll have to grant it to realworkingsailor, he got the name right of the vessel as depicted. St. George.got the full story right.

Well, it is an Andy original photo, probably a laker...

Sorry Anja.... waayyyy off... you'll have to look harder than that.... :rolleyes:

 

Wayne.. thought you guys liked "Andy Original" photos... makes things more fun right? :huh:

Love the originals - and it certainly makes things more challenging which, I guess, could be considered "Fun"

 

Sure do need to dig a lot deeper!  Who would have ever thunk there were that many red freighters on the St. Lawrence and Great lakes?????

You guys never let me have it easy. So, I guess it's no laker then, or is it?

Ok, I will try harder.

Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Hi Anja,

 

Google 'laker', and you'll see that they have all something in common: kind of boxy appearance.

Made to fit in the lcks of the canals between the lakes. (compare it to the Dutch 'motorspits' that is made to the specification of the locks in the Willemsvaart). 

As Andy is living in the lake area, many (if not all) of his mystery-ones are from the great lakes.

Most of the Canadian but some of the from that other country.

PS it's unfortunate that MSW1 disappeared, I've seen this Andy pic before.....
