HMS dairing ship


She may not be the prettiest or most modern ship out there but this is one I'll always remember. I am a plankowner(original crew)and called her home for a few years back in the 80's.

Dal Kalahari ship


The German container ship DAL KALAHARI, one of six modern ships making up the SA-Europe Container Service (SAECS) conference, which operates a weekly container service between Northern Europe ports and South Africa since the mid 1970s.

Titanic ship


Most new ships have sterns that look like the back of a bus when compared to the sterns of the great ocean liners. A fantail and a slender superstructure just do not maximize profit. Funnels are no longer things of beauty either. In the past, they used to represent power and speed.

American ship


In 1900 there were 356 reefer ships sailing on the oceans. Today there are 1,013 (CIA Factbook, 2007) reefer ships. I thought this seemed like a modest increase across more than a century, until I discovered that most cold or frozen shipping these days is done in shipping containers.
