Identify This!!! 1.0

Correct! You have the con.

Fred

Name both ships.

Very well done Onyxman! Jackie Fisher it is! I didn't expect he would be recognised so quickly although his facial characteristics did give him away.

The floor is yours Onyxman!

Haha, I'm afraid that is way over my budget (and probably always will) . Smart looking vessel though.

Next picture: a very promising young man!

It is indeed 'Victory Chimes,' and you can buy it for $1.5 million from me if you happen to have that kind of change lying around the house....!  Here's the listing:

Is it Victory Chimes?

Sailed on her years ago.  The biscuits in the galley were incredible.  But let someone else identify her.

You own her? What a small world.

Right!  This ship is a National Monument, and I have it for sale.  What is its name?

Columbia Rediviva. It gave its name to the Columbia Bar, Columbia River, and British Columbia.

This American ship crossed the bar, and its name name has been on something that's flown into space.   

Seawise University

RMS Queen Elizabeth in hong kong harbor.

Queen Elizabeth?

Here you go:

And thank you Subfixer. Your turn to post a picture then; looking forward to it!

Thank you Jim. Well, this is a real "Identify This" as I myself don't know the name of this ship (anymore). I found it, thought it could be used in the future, downloaded it & forgot the name!

So, what is the name of this ship and what happened to it?

Thats correct, the Servia. 

Ok, now I know how to interpret "Aquitania of the 1880s"; she was a stand-alone and not part of a twin.

It must be Cunard's Servia 1881 then! Pretty ship!

Close! This ship led directly to the construction of Umbria and Etruria.

Hmmm tough one and although I'm still hesitating I'm gonna guess: one of the Cunard sisters Umbria and Etruria 1884.

 Dear bryan01:  Please excuse my interruption on your postings of the thread,"Identify this!!!" You and others exchange pictures of old vessels, whereby viewers can guess the name of a vessel. All of you have access to pictures. Can you do me a favor, please ?

                      In 1896, at the age of 21, my Northern Italian maternal grandmother emigrated to America on the French liner, La Bourgogne. This vessel launched in 1886, was involved in a foggy collision with the English sailing ship, Cromartyshire, on the morning of July 4, 1898, off Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Cromartyshire remained afloat, and able to rescue some passangers, but tragically, 560 of the La Bourgogne's passangers died in the frigid waters.

                       I have never seen a picture of La Bourgogne. Can you please post a picture of this vessel for me to see? I would be very grateful for your favor.  

    Montani semper liberi ! Happy modeling to all and every one of you.
