CaptainSteve Posted March 9, 2013 Share #34 Posted March 9, 2013 I think I may have it !! Is it USS Columbia ??? ... later known as USS Old Columbia ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyGlass Posted March 9, 2013 Share #35 Posted March 9, 2013 oh sorry folks I havent been looking and so hadnt replied to your guesses. None right so far - yes - that fancy coat of arms on the bow helps a lot I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted March 9, 2013 Share #36 Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Ok Spyglass, The search continues .... Is it USS Pennsylvania Armored Cruiser (1905), renamed the Pittsburgh in 1912? Take care, Anja Edited March 9, 2013 by Anja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyGlass Posted March 9, 2013 Share #37 Posted March 9, 2013 Have to think European here or there MAY be a South American link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted March 9, 2013 Share #38 Posted March 9, 2013 Thinking aloud: Not French, becasue the bow doesn't fit. Not HMS, as I can not find anything like it. Could be spanish (used in the spanish/mexican war....) Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristiano Posted March 9, 2013 Share #39 Posted March 9, 2013 Well, it remind me the SMS SCHARNHORST, an Imperial German Dreadnought, launched in 1906 and sinked in 1914. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippwj Posted March 9, 2013 Share #40 Posted March 9, 2013 By Jove, I think he's got it! Found the exact picture using the ship named by Cristiano. Well played, sir! Now to wait for the call by Spyglass!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyGlass Posted March 9, 2013 Share #41 Posted March 9, 2013 Oh thats it exactly - I must admit to my embarrassment that I couldnt find the pic source I posted to provide more information. Yes One of the German cruisers sunk in the so called battle of the Falklands in the first World War , The name of course was given to another famous ship later.

Cristiano Posted March 9, 2013 Share #45 Posted March 9, 2013 here is the ship. Note: now I go to sleep, so I cannot be available for 7-8 hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSteve Posted March 10, 2013 Share #46 Posted March 10, 2013 I may as well get in early ... and (usually) incorrectly ... Is it USS Emeline, an American Steam Yacht from 1898 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristiano Posted March 10, 2013 Share #47 Posted March 10, 2013 No, but I admit that the photo is not so much clear... a small hint: during its life it was a very very very very very famous and knew ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSteve Posted March 10, 2013 Share #48 Posted March 10, 2013 Bismarck ... No Titanic ... No SS Minnow (from "Gilligan's Island") ... No Boat from "Jaws" .... No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristiano Posted March 10, 2013 Share #49 Posted March 10, 2013 Interesting how you put on the same level the lenght of the Titanic and boat from Jaws... but, NO. Just for CaptainSteve: your Country (and others,too) is connected to the history of that ship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristiano Posted March 10, 2013 Share #51 Posted March 10, 2013 No, no Apaches in its life... In which ways a ship can become worldwide famous (in its times of course)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle Bill Posted March 10, 2013 Share #52 Posted March 10, 2013 Perhaps The Venetia ? later USS Venetia (SP-431) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wim500 Posted March 10, 2013 Share #53 Posted March 10, 2013 I think the ship is owned by an Italian, who loved radio . Sorry for giving a hint to the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristiano Posted March 10, 2013 Share #54 Posted March 10, 2013 No, Venetia is not right. For wim500: the road is paved now! but the winner is the one that write the name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristiano Posted March 10, 2013 Share #56 Posted March 10, 2013 AARRRGh! ELETTRA yes! I provided too many hints! it is obvious that I am new to that game! Elettra, the floating laboratory of one of the radio inventors: Guglielmo Marconi. For Captainsteve: From that ship with a radio command he switched on the light in a Sydney exibition, far 22000 km. Well, one piece of that ship is exposed in Sidney now. CaptainSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maaaslo Posted March 10, 2013 Share #57 Posted March 10, 2013 the hint that gave it up was the one about italian loving radio. Marconi was a great man. and had a beutyfull yacht... well, but it was a tough one i admit,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
