Name the Ship Game

[Anja]

Is it the three masted barque Yarrow?

 

And the one in the background the brig Sarah?

[st george]

No sorry Anja, not Yarrow or Sarah.

[Anja]

The Barque Grasmere?

[st george]

Not the Grasmere.

 

If it helps, the photo was taken in 1865.

Taeping and Ariel?

 

  Danny

[st george]

[Dan Vadas]

Thanks David - that took a LOT of Googling to find the right Clipper in the right place at the right time .

 

OK - here's the next one, and a cryptic clue :   "Jim Lad can see her from the front door on most Wednesdays".

 

 

  Danny

[Kevin]

not exactly the nicest thing to see (she looks quite ugly from this angle), could be worse and have to see it everyday

[Dan Vadas]

Kevin, that's not her most flattering angle - she looks a whole lot better from the front or side .

 

  Danny

[Dan Vadas]

A bit more in the present Crackers .

 

There are plenty of pics to be found using Google - you just have to work out WHERE to look   .

Edited April 17, 2013 by Kevin

[Kevin]

lol - i hope you win this one (please win)

[amateur]

I' ll start looking for a tiny Dutch tug

 

Jan

[Dan Vadas]

Yeah Kevin, just like that - unfortunately for you Jan named her first   . It is the Starship.

 

She's a Harbour Cruise boat in Sydney - Jim Lad (one of our Moderators) can see her every Wednesday (when he's not on an overseas holiday) from the front door of the Australian National Maritime Museum where he works as a volunteer model ship builder. She's berthed in Darling Harbour directly opposite the museum.

 

Starship

 

Over to you Jan.

 

  Danny

[Kevin]

lol - i live close to some ugly mud flats, but better looking than that thing, 

[amateur]

OK, this time it's not a tug.

 

Jan

[Barnacle Bill]

OK, this time it's not a tug   Ah but I bet tis still Dutch !  Is it Gelderland ?

Edited April 17, 2013 by Barnacle Bill

[amateur]

It is indeed Dutch, and it is HrMs Gelderland.
