Name the Ship Game

[Anja]

Thanks David! Will give it another search.

[Anja]

USS Talbot?

[st george]

Not the USS Talbot Anja. Try again.

[Anja]

USS Richard L. Page?

[st george]

So close Anja.

[Anja]

I have one more before doing the house chores ....

USS Julius A. Furer?

[st george]

You got it. Well done Anja.

 

Your turn.

[Anja]

Thanks David. Here's mine.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Iran Navy Kharg supply ship

[Anja]

You win Bill. Your turn.

[Barnacle Bill]

How about this one ?

[mtaylor]

Crackers,

 

As has been said before... Google Image Search is your friend.

[trippwj]

Crackers,

 

As has been said before... Google Image Search is your friend.

Unless, of course, certain moderators (who shall remain nameless, Danny) manipulate said image such as flipping it to a mirror image or altering the backgrounds....

 

Then, unfortunately, Google image Search provides absolutely useless items such as pictures of highrise buildings or similar. 

[mtaylor]

Wayne,

 

When this game first started in MSW 1.0, there was no Google Image Search.  Clues were provided periodically Sometimes there were several days or even weeks before the ship was identified.  It wasn't nearly as fast paced as it is now.  And for what Danny does.... good for him.  Somethings should be a challenge, right? 

[trippwj]

Agree completely, Mark. Enjoying the challenge!

[Anja]

Found her after a long search, I think.  The Esmeralda?

[Adrieke]

the fun is in the search not googling the image and have it straight away

 

and i am learning a lot about ship types and all so i get soemthing out of it

I did not know that rubber duckies had a name

(it's Dutch btw)

 

Jan

[Dan Vadas]

Can any person identify this ship ? The yellow one on the left.

 

Hmm ... Google Image Search comes up with either Huey, Dewey or Louie   .

 

  Danny

[Cristiano]

Are you joking???

is it really a question??

do you need really the name of the "thing" on the left??

Ok!

it is called "Rubber Duck" and it is a floating sculpture of the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman.

The photo was taken in Hong Kong.

But please, I refuse to win with such a "ship", so please make another question...   and consider null the present question!

[molasses]

Found her after a long search, I think.  The Esmeralda?

We are still waiting for confirmation of Anja's apparently correct guess. "Rubber Duck" is merely a distraction while we wait.

[Cristiano]

Of course I understood (really? it was a challenge in anycase! ), but probably I used not enough smiling emoticons in the answer 

[DSiemens]

It amazes me how you folks manage to find the names of these obscure ships. You probably know the identity of every vessel going back to the days when the first Cro-Magnon cave dweller paddled his dug out log boat somewhere in Europe.

 

 

I believe that ship was called the Ug.  Which was Cromagnon for "floaty log thingy with branch that catch wind."     JK  It amazes me as well the variety of ships that appear on this thread.  Especially the ones that evade the google image search.  

 

Also I've heard tale that the giant rubber duck thing, that has yet to be properly identified and or confirmed in this thread, is appearing in the USA sometime soon.

While you are waiting for answer, if you are bored, try this:

 

-It is a promotional photo of a passenger room;

-it was really a black-white photo;

-the photo is not mirrored;

-the ship was USA made.

Which was the ship name?

the sub-section of the game is called "Cristiano raised the bar level to a new definition of pain"

 

[amateur]

The cabin is not found by Google....

There should be hundreds of these around: every line and liner had such pics around. (recently saw quite a bunch of these from the HAL)

 

But perhaps we should consider giving Anja a go, before wandering off in all (albeit interesting)  directions?

 

Jan

[Anja]

Hello Jan,

 

I think we can have a go, we've waited a whole long five days for an answer from Bill.

Maybe he secretly went on a vacation.

 

Well, here goes ..... Knowing you guys, do I have to say good luck?

 

 

Good luck anyway.

 

Anja

[AntonyUK]

Hi.

Looks like a wheat freighter on the Great lakes.

 

Antony

[amateur]

Ha, Andy-stuff again

 

Jan

[Anja]

Yes, that's the one Anthony (Crackers) Your turn.

[Anja]

Sorry Anthony,

 

Have not been able to identify her yet. Will keep searching.
