realworkingsailor Posted March 14, 2013 #126 Posted March 14, 2013 I'll accept that answer, although in that photo she was already sailing under her latest name J.B. Ford Launched December 1903 and from 1996 to 2001 used for cement storage. The vessel is still in existence in Superior WI. There are mutterings of a preservationist group interested in saving her from the cutting torch. Andy Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy
trippwj Posted March 14, 2013 #127 Posted March 14, 2013 The mutterings seem to be true...http://www.greatlakessteamshipsociety.org/ The Great Lakes Steamship Society is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of the 1904-vintage Great Lakes steamship J.B. Ford. In a career that lasted over a century, this grand old lady of the Lakes carried the goods that fed the industrial might of our nation, hauled the raw materials that helped to win two world wars, and survived some of the Great Lakes’ worst storms, including the infamous “White Hurricane” of 1913. avsjerome2003 1 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus
DSiemens Posted March 14, 2013 #128 Posted March 14, 2013 Alright took me a while to find the name of this one but it was bottled by one of my favorite ship on bottle builders. I will post the video of that as soon as some one guess's correctly. It's worth watching.

realworkingsailor Posted March 14, 2013 #131 Posted March 14, 2013 *points to his username* Not just an empty boast! Seen her on many occasions during my travels (Most recently at Quebec City last summer). Now I'll have to think of something again. Bear with me as I will be spending tomorrow skiing, so if it's ok with everyone, I'll have something on Friday. Andy Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

Anja Posted March 15, 2013 #135 Posted March 15, 2013 Andy, I think you've had such a good time skiing, you forgot to remove the ship's name. It says in the bottom 'Princess Sophia'.

amateur Posted March 15, 2013 #137 Posted March 15, 2013 This game is rapidly changing into 'find were the name is'-game And as you have only one 'non-laker' you decide to concede. We understand ..... Jan Quote
Anja Posted March 15, 2013 #138 Posted March 15, 2013 Let me think ....... I'm a bit confused now I know what concede means (accept as true, valid, or accurate). But it also means to give away or grant something. So Andy, do you post another ship? Or do I post a ship?

trippwj Posted March 15, 2013 #142 Posted March 15, 2013 I think Bill got it with his edited post - USNS Mizar (T-AGOR-11) Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus
Anja Posted March 15, 2013 #143 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Hello Wayne, You are right. I don't see it in Bill's post, he did gave the correct name, but not the type. This odd-looking ship is indeed USNS Mizar (T-AGOR 11), a special-mission ocean survey/"ocean engineering" ship. Mizar was commissioned in 1958 as an arctic cargo ship (AK 272). In 1964 she underwent a hurried conversion to an ocean survey ship to assist in the search for the sunken USS Thresher (SSN 593); she was redesignated AGOR 11. After locating Thresher, she underwent a more complete conversion to her new role and embarked on a long and interesting career. She was taken out of service in 1992. More information is to be found here: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-m/ak272.htm Take care, Anja Edited March 15, 2013 by Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

trippwj Posted March 15, 2013 #145 Posted March 15, 2013 Will give this one to Barnacle Bill to choose the next ship since he had the right name!

maaaslo Posted March 15, 2013 #147 Posted March 15, 2013 it is PS Caledonia, ravaged by fire in 1980 here is the link for her wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_Caledonia_(1934) Quote Pavol stands for Paul, Pablo, Paolo etc. Please do not try to pronounce it, just call me Pav...
Barnacle Bill Posted March 15, 2013 #148 Posted March 15, 2013 Correct , built 1935, served during the war as HMS Goatfell. Evidently did not take to being turned into a floating Restaurant on the London Embankment Quote
maaaslo Posted March 16, 2013 #149 Posted March 16, 2013 I will post the next one as soon as i get back from work. I will be driving in london, embankment as well. I might get to see the replacement... Quote Pavol stands for Paul, Pablo, Paolo etc. Please do not try to pronounce it, just call me Pav...

I might get to see the replacement... The replacement was the TS Queen Mary 2 and she was supposed to be towed off to La Rochelle last year but that fell through and is now at Tilbury.
