Name the Ship Game

[amateur]

Now I think its the Joseph H. Frantz before she was scrapped at Port Colborne around 2005-06?

If not, it's an identical twin

St George...Is that your final answer?

 

Yeah.. your last one would be correct.  Built 1924, scrapped 2005 at Industrial Marine and Salvage, Port Colborne.

I love that place despite the obvious saddness of ships being cut up, you do get that last chance to see some really old graceful ships

 

 

And Jan.. I've not posted that one before... you may think you've seen it before... :P

Here's a nice old one I found. She sits nice and low in the water.

 

 

Good Luck.

USS Amphitrite (BM-2)?

[st george]

That was quick. Well done Wayne.

[trippwj]

Thanks - try this one out.

 

 

[realworkingsailor]

Great... Pirates of the Dairy Case.....

 

Andy

[trippwj]

oops...wrong one! My wife sent me that one to practice my rigging on...she thought it would be easier since there are no shrouds...

 

Try this one out!

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Brig "Eye of the Wind   ?

[trippwj]

Congratulations, Barnacle Bill - that is, indeed, the "real" vessel in the picture.  That was quick!

 

Your Turn!!!

[Barnacle Bill]

  OK will this one float or sink ?

[st george]

Nice Hint Bill. Is that the CS Mackay Bennett that recovered the bodies floating in the Atlantic Ocean from the Titanic disaster?

[Anja]

Hello David,

 

Bill has to give the ok for this, but I think you are right.

I think it was the CS Mackay Bennett who took part in the Titanic disaster, to recovering the bodies.

 

Anja

[Barnacle Bill]

That is correct , sorry only just crawled out the sack.

[st george]

Morning Bill. I'm just off to crawl into mine. But I'll post this Ship before I do.

 

 

Not the best photo. but famous enough to be easy to find. Good Luck.

[Barnacle Bill]

Since Bill have kindly offered his help, i have already send him a pm with the link to picture. For those who will be searching the google for the ship, picture was taken by me, so slightly harder as this angle is not on google...

Good luck and thank you Bill for your help

Maaaslo's mystery ship.

[trippwj]

Wrong color scheme, but almost looks like a USCG Hamilton Class Cutter!

[st george]

Wayne you're right. It is, or was, the USCGC Hamilton. Now tranfered to the Philippine Navy and called the BRP - Gregorio Del Pilar (PF-15).

Ah So ,   (on behalf of Maaaslo)  The Philipines appear to have acquired this ship to try and counter intrusions from the Chinese fishing fleet and navy , been some agro lately in the Scarborough Shoals waters.

Wow!  I was just looking at the basic shape and arrangement!  Dang! 

 

Okay - try this one!

 

[Cristiano]

What kind of strange and mysterious drugs are taken by the people that answer to that game???

Their brains works at the speed of light! :D

Or maybe I am just too lazy....

[Kevin]

there are two ships to choose from, the Prince William and the Stavros S Niarchos. The former sets sail around the fantastic coast of the UK and Ireland to take in the breathtaking coastline while the Stavros heads further afield to the Mediterranean and Canaries as well as Madeira.

 

 

PRINCE WILLIAM OR Stavros S Niarchos

[trippwj]

Wow - Found the original picture as well!  You are correct, Kevin.  It is the Stavros S Niarchos in my post.

  Your turn!
