amateur Posted January 23, 2015 Share #3181 Posted January 23, 2015 The fun of those old postcards is that they are all the same, only the direction the smoke plume is going differs Always a crowd on the Quay, as the ships were mostly going to the east (hence the white colour , and the sun-tent on the rear deck). The most renowned of the cruisers was Gelderland, taking Kruger to Europe after the Boer-war. Getting a second life as German anti-aircraft ship in WWII (under the name of Niobe). The other five were less famous, and were shorter lived. Here's the next. Not too difficult, I think Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty2008 Posted January 25, 2015 Share #3184 Posted January 25, 2015 I don't really feel up to hunting down a ship for you guys to guess right now so I hand this one over to whoever wants it.

Lextin. This thread appears to be dormant..?? I was wondering if perhaps while waiting for someone to take up "querty2008" offer, I could tap into some of the maritime knowledge of the NRG membership, to help identify the vessel pictured below. I have an inkling of the identity, but am hoping to hear some more informed observations. I found the picture while searching through some archives of my "Home-Port" of Newcastle NSW Australia. The photo had no included information and was simply titled "unknown"....I renamed it Cutty..??? (highly doubtful). Any assistance appreciated.

amateur Posted August 17, 2017 Share #3187 Posted August 17, 2017 This thread is completely dead. Don't think you'll get much response here .... the pic is not in the list suggested by Carl, and the details in the pic are too vague to check whether it could be cutty.

amateur Posted August 17, 2017 Share #3188 Posted August 17, 2017 Btw did cutty ever had 6 yards to her fore mast? I only can find pics with 5 at the fore, and 6 to the main. this ship has 6 on both jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor1234567890 Posted September 14, 2017 Share #3189 Posted September 14, 2017 Most definitely not Cutty Sark. She never crossed 6 yards on the fore, only the main. Until 1885 when she was cut down. Hull is wrong for Cutty as well. Quarterdeck is off. That ship crosses upper and lower t'gallants and Cutty Sark only ever crossed single T'gallants. Double topsail's though as shown in the image. Dead thread.... resuscitating it? mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippwj Posted March 26, 2018 Share #3190 Posted March 26, 2018 So, then. Any thoughts on the type of vessel represented in this drawing believed to have been made by a 10 year old George Washington in 1742?

Louie da fly Posted June 20, 2018 Share #3192 Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) No, those look like square sails (seen side on) on both fore and main masts (with a furled topsail on the main), which would make it a brig. I'd expect there to be a gaff sail on the main, but I can't see one (or even the spars) on the drawing. Unless the sail isn't set and that somewhat curved angled line near the top of the main course is the gaff, and the sail is loose footed, so doesn't have a boom?
