st george Posted August 10, 2013 Share #1561 Posted August 10, 2013 Is it the steel-hulled barque Omega. Famous for being the last cargo-carrying square-rigger in the world?

molasses Posted August 10, 2013 Share #1562 Posted August 10, 2013 Correct, David. The ship Drumcliff was built in 1887 then sold to a German company, re-rigged as a barque and renamed Omega in 1898. She was seized by Peru in 1917 and held for war reparations then served briefly for sail training in the Peruvian navy. In 1926 she was sold to a guano processing company where she carried guano from the islands to the mainland. In 1953, Omega, with two three masted barques, were the last three square rigged ships hauling cargo - guano. In 1957, she was the last one. She sank in 1958 carrying a full load of bird shi . . er, guano. I thought Omega's name was accidentally very appropriate.

Torrens Posted August 12, 2013 Share #1564 Posted August 12, 2013 Could she be a Russian survey vessel or similar - from the former USSR? The coutesy flag looks Polish.

molasses Posted August 16, 2013 Share #1578 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Coronation 1685, 90 guns, sank in 1691. Wreck found in 1967 and now a protected wreck site. The model is in the NMM, Greenwich. Here's the description: "Scale: 1:48. A contemporary full hull model of a 90-gun three-decker (circa 1675), built plank on frame in the Navy Board style. The model is partially decked, equipped and rigged. The model is probably a preliminary design for the 90-gun second-rates of the 1677 'thirty ships’ building programme, and has a gun deck length of 158 feet by 42 feet in the beam and a burden tonnage of approximately 1200. It was restored and re-rigged in 1929, with the lower masts and fighting tops thought to be original. The model illustrates very well the amount of carved decoration these ships carried for this period, in particular the wreathed gunports, a feature that was discontinued in the early 18th century on the grounds of cost." The NMM photo of the model was used in several articles about Coronation but the model is not of a specific ship. Here's larger photos from NMM: There are several more photos of this spectacular model, restored in 1929. This model is not on display. http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/65964.html Dave Edited August 16, 2013 by DFellingham Quote Current Builds: ESMERALDA Chilean Navy School Ship, 1/640 in a bottle insanity Dan Clapp's hard water race boat in a bottle Completed Build: Prairie Schooner OGALLALA 1/96 in a bottle Research Project: Cruizer-class Brig-Sloops "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBROOK Posted August 16, 2013 Share #1579 Posted August 16, 2013 Very well done that is correct.The model I pictured was from google,but the actual model of the Coronation is in the Kriegstein collection.I have a book that discusses it in great length complete with lots of pictures.Unfortunately in this instance I picked the wrong pic.Over to you Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molasses Posted August 16, 2013 Share #1580 Posted August 16, 2013 NMBROCK: Your photo is of the Coronation model, not a generic 90-gun second rate of 1675. I looked up the Kriegstein Collection and found more photos of her. The two models are almost identical except for the figurehead and quarter and stern gallery decoration. Please excuse my error. Here's the next "Name the Ship". Other than cropping out the name and details, the image is not retouched. Good luck, you'll need it.

molasses Posted August 17, 2013 Share #1582 Posted August 17, 2013 You are correct, David. You made this one look easy. Columbus was built in 1824 in Quebec. Her dimensions were 301 ft x 50 ft 6ins x 22 ft 5 in, 3690 tons. She was flat-bottomed, with straight sides and made of timbers as nearly square as possible with the intention of carrying a cargo of timber over the Atlantic and then herself being taken apart and sold as part of it. On 5 September she sailed with 6300 tons of timber for London and arrived in the Downs in a leaking condition. With the help of pilots and steam tugs she was brought as far as Blackwall Reach for unloading but her owners did not dismantle her as planned. They sent her back for another cargo but she wrecked outward-bound in the English Channel on 17 May 1825. She had the nickname "The American Raft."
