egkb Posted November 21, 2013 #2071 Posted November 21, 2013 And we have a winner!! well done David. Irish Shipping Ltd's SS Irish Alder (amongst the first vessels purchased by the Irish Government at the formation of ISL) company folded in the early 1980's Over to you David Eamonn Quote Current Build : HM Schooner Ballahoo In the Pipeline : HM Cutter Sherbourne, HM Mortar Convulsion, Emma C Berry & C18th English Longboat..

Beef Wellington Posted November 21, 2013 #2072 Posted November 21, 2013 Eamonn - I'm guessing the flags were painted to deter U-Boat attacks? egkb 1 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!" In the shipyard: HMS Jason (c.1794: Artois Class 38 gun frigate) Queen Anne Royal Barge (c.1700) Finished: HMS Snake (c.1797: Cruizer Class, ship rigged sloop)
egkb Posted November 21, 2013 #2073 Posted November 21, 2013 That was the plan Jason, They had a big Eire (Ireland in the native language) painted on the side too.. didn't work for 2 of them though (if memory serves the Irish Oak & the Irish Pine) both were sunk in the Atlantic, bit before my time mind you These vessels were pretty much derelicts' bought up and put into service for the war period, ISL bought all new ships after the war and got up to a reasonable tonnage in the late 60's early 70's wit a 70000 tonner in the early 80's, just in time for the company to fold up as I entered my Cadetship.. Typical Eamonn Bear them in mind as you might see a few from me in future NMBROOK 1 Quote Current Build : HM Schooner Ballahoo In the Pipeline : HM Cutter Sherbourne, HM Mortar Convulsion, Emma C Berry & C18th English Longboat..

amateur Posted November 22, 2013 #2075 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) I like those white hulled steam yachts. I'll be back later, after I've seen a few of them Jan Not Dephine, not Nahlin.... Edited November 22, 2013 by amateur egkb 1 Quote
st george Posted November 24, 2013 #2076 Posted November 24, 2013 Shouldn't be too hard. She was the most famous cruise ship of the thirties. Quote David Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati Next Build : 18th Century Longboat
amateur Posted November 29, 2013 #2077 Posted November 29, 2013 But I don't think it's Corsair IV.... Jan Quote
egkb Posted November 29, 2013 #2078 Posted November 29, 2013 I gave up Jan, went goggle eyed looking at smart white hulls! not even a close match did I find to urge me onward Eamonn Admitted defeat last week!

amateur Posted November 29, 2013 #2079 Posted November 29, 2013 I think I'm close: corsair does look the right period and model, but she's too small. It's a yacht, we're looking for a yacht-like ship. Jan Quote
amateur Posted November 29, 2013 #2080 Posted November 29, 2013 Perhaps I'm looking on the wrong side of the globe.... Quote
NMBROOK Posted November 29, 2013 #2081 Posted November 29, 2013 I am going to come flying in as the rank outsider as I have a few possibles J.P. Morgan Jr? Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
amateur Posted November 29, 2013 #2082 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) are you kidding Jan Edited November 29, 2013 by amateur Quote
NMBROOK Posted November 29, 2013 #2083 Posted November 29, 2013 That was a guess but this I am a little more confident about,it has recently been restored Nahlin? Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
egkb Posted November 29, 2013 #2084 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Was looking at Morgan (and Hollywood moguls) last week, didn't spot the 'Jnr' though!! E Edit.. That may explain why I didn't spot the JNR teehee Edited November 29, 2013 by egkb Quote Current Build : HM Schooner Ballahoo In the Pipeline : HM Cutter Sherbourne, HM Mortar Convulsion, Emma C Berry & C18th English Longboat..

NMBROOK Posted November 29, 2013 #2085 Posted November 29, 2013 Amateur there is also a 1930's yacht of the same name.J.Pierpoint is a famous name in the US everything has been named after him. Kind Regards Nigel Like I say I am confident it is Nahlin Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
amateur Posted November 29, 2013 #2086 Posted November 29, 2013 I know, but his yachts were names corsair, and corsair (even the largest) is smaller than this one. Jan Quote
NMBROOK Posted November 29, 2013 #2087 Posted November 29, 2013 Try googlin Nahlin you will see what I mean and the historic providence of her owners. Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
NMBROOK Posted November 29, 2013 #2088 Posted November 29, 2013 My apologies Amateur the yacht is Corsair Iv.The page I looked at stated it was JPM jr.You are correct he was the owner.My apologies. Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
amateur Posted November 29, 2013 #2089 Posted November 29, 2013 I've been looking at the ship quite a few days, and I;ve been through many white sruise ships. Can't stand it that I didn't find her. most famous cruise ship of her days, stunning white ship. Shouldn't be too difficult.... but......... Jan Quote

egkb Posted November 30, 2013 #2098 Posted November 30, 2013 After a bit of a think & ponder re the clues and my 'Change' of direction.. would 'Southern Girl' (from a song by Cheap Trick apparently about Southern Canadian Ladies!) be in any way right?

Jay 1 Posted November 30, 2013 #2100 Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Nope, Jud. Eamonn, nope--in relation to your earlier guess: consider Poles and my "change direction" hint... None of the clues will be in her name but they will help with figuring out where she sailed.... J Edited November 30, 2013 by JMaitri egkb 1 Quote Current Build: Ariel
