No Bob its not the Matthew but you are on the right track as it did cross the Atlantic but it didn’t set sail from England.

 

Paul

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

What a splendid sight?………………Can you name any of them?

 

Bob

[David WooleyParticipant @davidwooley82563]

Paul is it the PINTA?

 

 

Bob Here’s a guess

Olympic , Britanic ,Aquitania , haven’t any idea  of the others .

Dave Wooley

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Dave…………..You got one right anyway!

 

Here`s the line-up……From left to right…

 

Olympic….Majestic….Homeric….Mauritania….Berengaria

 

I`ve never heard of picture numbers …..three and five …..though

 

Bob

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Hi Dave

 

Spot on and well done for getting this little known but decisive ship.

 

Bob

 

Nice picture….now get on with building them…….at 1:48…

 

Paul

[David WooleyParticipant @davidwooley82563]

Hi Bob Well here is one of the five  at slightly over 1:48 scale but  could you get  the finished model in your transport ?  I hear this ship  rolled like cork , to much marble  and fine furnishing above the water line they say?

Dave Wooley

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

To wet Bobs appetite for a proper build here is another famous ship but from a different angle.

Can you name this ship?

 

Is it easy to guess????? It might not be as easy as you think.

Looks like one of the Titanic trio Paul, I’d guess Olympic. Dave’s pic is of the Berengaria (ex Imperator) but they’d sorted out a lot of the topweight problems by the time Cunard took her over. Super model though.

 

Colin

[David WooleyParticipant @davidwooley82563]

Titanic props . Colin  may well be right. 

Dave Wooley

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Hats off to Admiral Colin as it is indeed the Titanic, I couldn’t do this thread without including her at least once.

Paul

 

I shall have to find a harder one for the next ship

 

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Ahoy there!………………………Now then! Now then!…What`s goin` on `ere?

 

My piccie of the five classic ships, shows Berengaria with four funnels…..

 

………But Dave`s Berengaria has three funnels!!!!!!!!!!

 

I suspect my picture has got Mauritania and Berengaria……….back to front!………eh?

 

So who`s a lemon? and who`s a melon?

 

Capt Bob

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Here is another prop related question.

 

Which ship is this?

 

Paul

[David WooleyParticipant @davidwooley82563]

Hi Paul Its the multiple props that ‘s  the give away Turbinia

Dave Wooley

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Bang on again Dave…I’m going to have to find a really hard subject for you.

 

Meanwhile name this ship and what is its claim to fame?

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Here is a real challenge……..who knows the type and actual name of this particular ship.
Is it a ship?

Is it a plane?

Is it a hovercraft?

 

 

Paul

[David WooleyParticipant @davidwooley82563]

Hi Paul the ship in question is the nuclear powered cargo vessel  Savannah .

Dave Wooley

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Yet again Dave shows up the rest of you and comes up trumps but can he identify the strange flying boat….I know Ashley can.

 

Paul

[David WooleyParticipant @davidwooley82563]

Hi Paul The aircraft / ground effect plane is a Soviet Ekranoplan  but  that’s just the generic term for what they are .

Dave Wooley

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

That answered half the question…but what is this actual ship called?

 

Paul

[David WooleyParticipant @davidwooley82563]

It’s the    Pelican .

Dave Wooley

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

I didn’t expect anyone to get that one, serves me right for trying to be clever.

I will have to change tack and come up with something else.

 

This is a section of the bridge from a lifeboat…but which type?

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Perhaps this is a more suitable subject.

A warship from the great age of battleships.

What is her name and what happened to her?

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Paul

 

No idea what it is……………. but I do like the pill boxes up top?

 

Off the top of me `ead………..How`s about……………..Dreadnaught?

 

Bob

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

No Bob but you are on the right lines by thinking about the grand fleet.
