amateur Posted March 12, 2013 Share #92 Posted March 12, 2013 Was Arabia a hospital ship (at least, that's what I think the troop-connection in WWI is)? Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagoon Posted March 12, 2013 Share #93 Posted March 12, 2013 No it doesn't seem to have been. If Wikipedia is correct it was actually a passenger liner that was torpedoed by a submarine in 1916...she had a sister ship the Egypt who looked similar who did work as a hospital ship during the war... I suppose it could be either one of them...they look VERY similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maaaslo Posted March 12, 2013 Share #94 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) She was not torpedoed, she sunk after the collision in bay Biskay and later become very visited for one purpouse. She indeed was hospital ship during ww1. Enough hints, one of you was veeeeery close already. Edited March 12, 2013 by maaaslo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slagoon Posted March 13, 2013 Share #99 Posted March 13, 2013 Just woke up to find that I'm a winner :-D Well I don't know if it will be easy or hard. I did remove the name ON the ship in 3 spots...hopefully the photoshop job isn't too bad but I thought she was a rather neat ship. I will give hints in 12 hours if no correct answers.
