Name the Ship Game


RMS Olympic

Recommended Posts

After almost a week, it appears that the last winner isn't going to take his turn. I suggest that we send out the press gang to find the previous winner, JMaitri, to post another ship.

Actually, it's the other half of the twins: Soemba.

But as these two are completely identical, it's up to you to post teh next one.

 

Pic is taken somewhere in the east-indies, as she has her sun-gear installed on deck.

Soemba and Flores were 1920-ies build gunsloops, in active service till after WWII, were they were involved in actions in the mediterranean and at D-day.

Flores has been used as instruction vessel until the eighties.

Hmmm, methinks many participants may be on holiday for the season.

I have no idea, but I am curious as to whether or not she survived her icy stay there? Since she appears to have a wood hull.

Current Build: Authentic Hannah Kit Bash

Pending Continuation: Sea of Galilee Boat

 

Completed Build:  MS AVS

On Shelf: AL Independence, Blue Jacket Alfred

Thank you David, for posting a beautiful ship. I always like many of the Swedisch ship designs. 

 

Now that it's my turn I want to post a picture a ship that I realy like as it fast and agile.

She was build in 1905 in Scotland.

She went under 3 different names and had 5 diffferent owners (one was the Britisch Royal Navy which used her as a mine sweeper) during her 35 years life time. Unfortunatly it didn't survive WWII (whlile taking part in operation Dynamo). 

 

I hope that'll give enough clues. 

 

Good luck and happy christmas.

Sorry, I haven't noticed we already had Queen of Kent recently otherwise I would have picked another to keep it more interesting.

Captain Slog is awfully close with his Glen Gower tho that ship was build in 1922 instead of 1905 and also survived WWII.

Wow,  I finally got one right, after 151 pages LOL

 

I don't usually play but follow the thread as I like seeing all the different pictures of ships.

 

Don't know how easy this will be so no clues just yet.

Well that was short lived  :)

 

Right class, Canopus, but not the Albion, no point making you guess the other 5.  HMS Ocean.  Chosen because it was mentioned in 'Dreadnought' I am reading.

 

See you all in another 150 pages :D 

 

Your turn Jan.
