Precisely! This article on my Android caught my eye just yesterday; The topic of which I hinted at to Jimbuna. https://www.sciencealert.com/if-space-junk-falls-on-your-house-are-there-laws-to-protect-you https://www.sciencealert.com/images/2021-05/file-20210514-23-qydc5a.jpg <Every dot in this image represents a known piece of space debris.

mississippi riverboat?

[mapuc]

It does look like it now I wonder if the word Lee is part of its name ?

Markus

[Catfish]

@ AktungBby: You again! I almost broke my fingers during the valve 'session' :haha:

@Mapuc: Not the »Robert E. Lee« if you referred to that, but the right direction nation-wise: the USA :)

It is a riverboat alright.
Hint: Not exactly from the "Big muddy M. waters"

[u crank]

So it's not American?

[Catfish]

^ Sorry, corrected my recent post: Not south american - it is from the US, North America.

[mapuc]

So it is a steamboat from North America not from Mississippi though is this correct ?

Markus

[u crank]

Is it still in use?

[Aktungbby]

Is it the sternwheeler steamer packet, Far West, that supported the cavalry troops on the Yellowstone/Bighorn campaign culminating in the Sioux victory at The Greasey Grass in 1876? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11941

[Buddahaid]

Is it still in use?

Good question. I've been trying to get a list of rivers that used steamboats and what boats ran on them and it's a pretty scant offering that always defaults to Mississippi boats.

Was this steamboat on the Missouri River?

[Buddahaid]

Now I have to look this up right after posting my poor luckless me rant. :o

[Catfish]

Yes you were correct, it was an american so-called "Mountain boat" rear paddle steamer or stern wheeler, traveling the Missouri.


@u crank: Not in use anymore. She struck a snag in 1883 and sank, near St. Charles, Missouri.


Good question. I've been trying to get a list of rivers that used steamboats and what boats ran on them and it's a pretty scant offering that always defaults to Mississippi boats. Was this steamboat on the Missouri River?
Yes, on the Missouri. True there also were a lot of Missouri steamers, but the Far West was one of the most famous "fast boats".

Oh yes it is! One of the Mountain boats, maybe the most famous.

"Far West gained a place in military and steamboat history during the Great Sioux War of 1876. The Far West was under contract to support a military column of infantry and cavalry units under General Alfred Terry, Colonel John Gibbon and Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer."

"On June 25, 1876, the 7th Cavalry under Custer suffered a disastrous defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Five of the companies of the 7th were annihilated along with Custer, and the remaining companies suffering significant numbers of dead and wounded. Far West made her way from the Yellowstone up the Bighorn River to the mouth of the Little Bighorn where she was loaded with the wounded from the battle. Traveling night and day, she returned downriver to Bismarck, Dakota Territory, making the 710 mi (1,140 km) run in the record time of 54 hours and bringing the first news of the military defeat [...]."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_West_(steamship)

As you can see on those two photos those boats were changed, rebuilt and repaired all through their life, adding a hurricane deck and removing it when needing wood for the boilers. "The Western Rivers Steamboat Cyclopoedium" by Alan L. Bates explains a lot about those ships and especially the techniques and machinery used, no photos but lots of drawings. Good book and the only one i know of regarding the inner technique of "Mississippi" steamers.

She was a small fast boat with three boilers and powerful machines, able to navigate narrow and shallow waterways, often using the vertical beams hanging from its bow cranes, those being pushed onto the sand banks and heaving the whole ship over shallow spots with steam winches, called "grasshopping".

In the times of the western expansion such boats were the only way to quickly support distant outposts, until the railways reached out and connected it all.


That went astonishing fast.. over to Aktungbby :salute:

[Aktungbby]

That went astonishing fast.. over to Aktungbby Not really: as a history major BA who took advantage of longhaul trukkin' to every historic location ie: Deadwood and the Little Big Horn battle(Greasy Grass)field, I've inhaled volumes on Custer, Sitting Bull etc. The Far West was the great witness to it all incl bring the stones for the monument. I noticed immediatly it was not a stately Mississippi Riverboat so it must be a Missouri 'grasshopperin' boat' for getting over treacherous shoals or 'snags'. Yor photo is reversed but the name of boat is visible in the pic too!!??:doh: What's this famous piece of Western Americana?:Kaleun_Salivating:https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11942

it is attached to leather

[Buddahaid]

nope

[Jimbuna]

A shield?

[Aktungbby]

nope, much smaller; although it has a similar leather strap & buckle

[Jimbuna]

Worn around the wrist?

[Aktungbby]

Around the neck somewhat like a huscarl of yore as to strap size...but this critter had 'bigger cajónes' and marched on 8 campaigns!:arrgh!::D https://i.pinimg.com/564x/45/d3/9d/45d39d2480603c1ef76734a5ae0995a7.jpg Big hint: John Wayne never quite got it right!!?:timeout:

[Catfish]

[Aktungbby]

Nope. Not a garment; rather tool of the late 1800's trade.

[Jimbuna]

A holster?

[Aktungbby]

nope; big hint: its made of copper. But a lot of the wearer's coworkers would be wearing holsters:D

[Buddahaid]

A bugle?

[Aktungbby]

A bugle? but this critter had 'bigger cajónes' and marched on 8 campaigns! Critters do not blow bugles, but occasionally they bellow some when not mooovin' along the ol' campaign trail... at the front!

[Jimbuna]

Not sure what they're called exactly but the leathers worn over the trousers?

[Buddahaid]

I see. Hmmm, a yoke for a team of oxen?

[u crank]

Ox bell?

[Catfish]

Something worn for riding?

[Aktungbby]

Not sure what they're called exactly but the leathers worn over the trousers? NO old Chap:O: Big hint : I see its getting late in England so I'll say Goodnight!

I see. Hmmm, a yoke for a team of oxen? It is bovine in nature

Ox bell? Yes it could be; but not in this case, now what famous critter wore it, clanking away, on 8 campaigns- generally in a Northerly directon...prior to his 8 year retirement in Texas!:yeah:

Something worn for riding? No

[Buddahaid]

[Aktungbby]

Nope, Could he sing the Blues

[Buddahaid]

Sounds like Babe the Blue Ox from Paul Bunyun.

[Aktungbby]

CLOSE! you've got the name right, but not an ox! I've given hints galore.:wah: the thing's in a museum at the other end of the country from Babe's turf.

[Jimbuna]

Neckerchief?

[Aktungbby]

YES! It was worn around the neck; but only in the daytime(silenced at night) so as not to disturb the 'holster wearers' or 3-5,000 other critters at night preventing them from from a Goodnight's rest on one of the northerly 1000 mile 'campaigns'.:up:

[Buddahaid]

Was that a win? A kerchief called Babe? :arrgh!:

[Aktungbby]

No. Not a kerchief. Marcel got it right: it is a bell and you got the name right... partially...just not Babe.

[Buddahaid]

:k_confused::haha::k_confused::ping:

I went to school in Napa, it was all about the Spanish and Mexico with a few odd explorers thrown in....

[Aktungbby]

well just think vaqueros tejanos muy famosos and you'll get it! ie: "Get 'em up, move em's out and keep those doggies movin'..."following that critter with the ox bell??!

[Catfish]

A bullwhip/lash?

[Aktungbby]

nope as u crank surmised it is a ox bell worn on a leather strap by a unique critter on eight campaigns in the 1800's. Images of this unique critter are in paintings and sculpture. The famous bell and strap are in a museum. Put on yer old Winnetou/Old Shatterhand cap and U can brain it out!:shucks: EDIT: I see it's late in Germany so I'll say Goodnight here too!??:hmmm:

This one has me mystified BBY, I'll take a stab at it though as this puzzle image needs to be buried in the deepest darkest depths of planet earth never ever to resurface again. :haha:

This wouldn't have anything to do with the German author Karl May and his heroes Old Shatterhand and Winnetou would it?.

[Aktungbby]

Nope that was just a cage-rattler for our German friend to
'keep them doagies movin' :Kaleun_Salute: Here's a big hint; ie practically a dead giveaway:o https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11945

[Jimbuna]

Is this to be found in an American museum?

[u crank]

Charles Goodnight’s Old Blue?

[Aktungbby]

"Get 'em up, move em's out and keep those doggies movin'..."following that critter with the ox bell??! The italicized lyrics from the tv western Rawhide...I watch reruns (starring Clint Eastwood) . In one episode, they lose "the lead bull"; essential equipment on a long cattle drive from Texas to the trailheads at Kansas. This put me on to the concept of a very bossy lead steer that would lead 3,000+ other critters on a 'campaign' wearing an ox-bell the other steer would learn to follow endlessly... to slaughter! In effect Ol' Blue was a 'Judas goat' and made 8 campaigns up the Great Western Trail to Dodge City from Goodnight's Texas Ranch.

Is this to be found in an American museum? yes https://th.bing.com/th/id/Rbdfb3e9bfba5ef26722753f65e177746?rik=qpziSwoN0xK1 Tw&pid=ImgRaw Through thousands of miles of treacherous trails, driving cattle north on the great cattle trails was tricky business, testing the will of the cowboy and the cow pony. Along the way, someone came up with the idea of using a lead steer, which would keep the herds headed in the right direction.

In a group of 5,000 steers, Charles Goodnight purchased Old Blue after showing signs of natural leadership.In 1876, Goodnight decided to move back to Texas and Old Blue lead the herd. Over the next eight years, Old Blue kept leading herds, sometimes twice a year, to Dodge City. When the drive was over, he'd travel back to Texas with the horse remuda and drivers.

Old Blue was always be the pointer animal, and the herd learned to follow the sound of his bell. Attached to the bell was a little strap to tie up the clapper so it would stay quiet at night. Old Blue would let a cowboy tie up the clapper at night, and release it in the morning when the herd was ready to move. Getting a Goodnight's rest??!!:O:

The longhorn became a pet, walking right up to the camp to eat bread, apples, or whatever the cook would give him. He preferred to bed down with the horses instead of the herd. The steer faced storms, Indian raids and buffalo stampedes, and lived to be twenty years old.

Charles Goodnight’s Old Blue?Precisely and well done! Legendary Texas rancher Goodnight's dominant lead bull, Ol' Blue! He famously lead 8 drives from age four to twelve and retired at Goodnights Texas ranch, for his remaining eight years.:Kaleun_Salute: U were first on scent with ox-bell .:yeah: Over to you sir!

[Catfish]

"Old Blue" sure was not a hero in other bulls' eyes, leading thousands to the slaughter :hmmm:To be technically correct, he 'steered' them to slaughter- you can't have 3,000-5,000 bulls on a 'Bovine hejira' to Kansas; they've got be castrated...mellows them out considerably...come to think of it, the remuda(cowhorses) were geldings as well. Jeeze! The West was won with transgendered 'its' ... not hims! :hmmm::doh::yep::O:

Thomas Beckett's murder.. I was there.
Or better have been at the spot where he was murdered..

[Aktungbby]

Can't remember the exact search term I used but it was something along the lines of 'Henry II and church murders'BuddhaBBY takes it, it was an article in the WSJ "the afterlife of Becket" that featured the ornate cup featuring Becket and two knights who "rid Henry II of that meddlesome priest." His blood, ,
mopped from Canterbury Catherdral, mixed with water, was placed in the cup and treated with reverence (Catholic mythology?)by pilgrims seeking healing when Becket was canonized as a saint. In penance Henry, royally sucking up to the Pope and keeping the peasants happy, was 'beaten (flagellated)up from time to time' after he'd broken the kingly rule of 'creating a martyr'...the movie, Becket, with Peter O'toole and Richard Burton, gets it very nicely imho.

I'd say USS Saratoga of the top of my head.

[Jimbuna]

@Markus and Moonlight

If neither of you put a question up by 5pm GMT I'll start us off with a new one.

Don't wait while 5, stick one up when you've found one. :up:

You have the ball my friend

Markus

:shifty:

[Aktungbby]

I'd say USS Saratoga of the top of my head.nope!

[Buddahaid]

FLIP?

[d@rk51d3]

I'm guessing it has that sinking feeling.

[Aktungbby]

FLIP?nope it's enroute to Davy Jones locker,

I'm guessing it has that sinking feeling.That would be correct. This was sinking number two; both caught on film!

[d@rk51d3]

Someone leave the plugs out of the "Willie D"? :har:

[Aktungbby]

you could say someone 'pulled the trigger' the second time (Pacific)las opposed to 'setting the fuse' the first time...(Atlantic)and we'll recollect the Kamikaze attack, but ignore altogether, that didn't sink her!!

[Buddahaid]

Well that sounds like Baker from Operation Crossroads.

[Aktungbby]

nope nowhere near a nuclear detonation. The photo(note vertical crosshair) is from a periscope view of the attacking submarine.

[Buddahaid]

That totally escaped me.:haha:

So now I'm thinking SS-237 and a fine product of Mare Island.

[Aktungbby]

U R getting very warm

[Buddahaid]

Trying to tie the clues together but I'm still winding up in dead end alleys. :Kaleun_Cheers:

And by the way, George talked the new owners of the Gruenhagen house next door to have the redwood tree removed because he doesn't like the needles that drop. That house was built by Leonard Gruenhagen who was VP of Venop Builders in town, and he was instumental in getting the St. John's Lutheran church built on Linda Vista. I used to fly control line model planes on that property when I was a younger punk. George's property was also owned by the Gruenhagen's and was the rough baseball diamond we played on. There was also a shooting backstop there we used to target shoot with .22 rifles. Good times.

[Aktungbby]

I noticed the tall cranes from Trower as I drove back from lunch at Fume today. I had two huge ones removed and the decaying root systems still cause sinking in the garden. Big hint: HW3 would get this one in a second!:arrgh!:

[Buddahaid]

I've been waiting for the moment of claravoyance but haven't devoted any time to research of late. HW3? Huge wallets? Heavy water? Hidious wallpaper? Harmonious wailings? Happy waldo? :k_confused:

[Catfish]

HW3 is the name of a member existent at this forum .. :)

[Moonlight]

I knew when Aktungbby posted an image puzzle that I wouldn't be participating in this one, you either have to be as brainy as a Mensa question setter or extremely bloody lucky to guess it and, I'm not either of them. :O:

Keep it simple bby. :D

Keep it simple bby. :DAlready Done! To reiterate: the ship was sunk twice on film. 1: by fused device (Atlantic). 2 by a 'triggered device'.(Pacific-where it rests today) 3: It survived a horrendous kamikaze attack which killed about 25% of the crew. HW3 would guess it in a snap! :shucks: Now set yer brainy course for 140 and solve it!:arrgh!:

[Buddahaid]

LOL! There must be a hole in my mind...

The Fireside Lounge in Alameda, California, just a few hours ago in an after gig tear down photo. First gig I've had in fifteen months and it was a blast. The Ivy Room is the indoors main stage which is still closed.

[Aktungbby]

C'MON! somebody solve it:k_confused: ...I'm goin' nutz waitin'!! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/1a/60/87/1a608706fde3f1d051ddf2a068972ad8.gif

[Catfish]

A freighter?

I'm only looking sporadically, until our team calls the next own goal :shifty:

[Aktungbby]

not a freighter; a warship of renoun:arrgh!:

[Buddahaid]

Well it's not HMS Renown but I had to look anyway.

[Aktungbby]

Nope; American and small

[Catfish]

So, a destroyer?

[Aktungbby]

You're hard on the scent; but this type only goes 23 knots max; but does similar tasks: convoy escort, picket duty etc. Big hint: the actual captain of the ship (in 1957) was involved with the first filmed (Atlantic) sinking, but not the second filmed sinking in the Pacific in 1971.

[Catfish]

Destroyer escort?

[Aktungbby]

indeed!

[Catfish]

Sunk by a torpedo in 1971, as a target?

[Aktungbby]

yes!

[Catfish]

Well i know which ship it is, but it definitely did not sink twice :wah:
Not. really.

[Aktungbby]

I didn't say it necessarily sank twice; I said it was filmed sinking two times! The second time for keeps!:D

[Catfish]

USS "Haynes" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Whitehurst_(DE-634)) :O:
So a non-existent DE is "sunk" by a non-existent german U-boat in a movie, while the real DE in WW2 sunk a japanese submarine, later being attacked by Kamikaze planes and almost sunk, then rammed a real US submarine unintentionally, while finally sunk by another real US submarine, but much later. And the submarine is the second one with this name, and it's wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Trigger_(SS-564)) does not even mention the sinking of said DE. And later the sub was renamed and served in the Italian navy. And.. can it get more complicated ..

And why are you still awake?? :haha:

[Aktungbby]

USS "Hayes" :O:

Why are you still awake?? :haha:Well done! I'm up with a sick old 18 yearold beloved Burmese kitty. It is the USS Hayes depicted in the The Enemy Below-sunk by the Uboat's fused scuttle charge (on course 140:haha:) but the real name was the USS Whitehurst, who's actual captain and crew were in the movie(as ship's engineer and seen abandoning the sinking Hayes) with Cort Jurgens, (depicted in HW3's sig photo.) The puzzle's photo is her actual sinking by USS Triggerfish to test a new torpedo in '71. A kamikaze attack in '45 killed 42 of her crew of 230 off Okinawa. I thought BuddhaBBy had it with the correct sub ship's # SS-237. But he demurred. Over to you!:Kaleun_Salute:

[Catfish]

All the best for the burmese kitty..

I was just lucky.. I had given up on that sub and looked for ships being sunk twice, again with no luck, and then for sinkings filmed, when i accidentally found this:

"Arriving at Pearl Harbor on 30 April 1957, Whitehurst underwent four weeks of upkeep and repairs before beginning six weeks of duty with 20th Century Fox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Fox) during the filming of the World War II adventure film The Enemy Below (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Enemy_Below). During that time, she portrayed the fictional destroyer escort "USS Haynes (DE-181)"."

SS-237 Trigger (the second US sub with this name), well i wonder why Budda did not go on.. right, the wiki does no mention the Whitehurst being sunk, but how did he get to SS-237 then at all? :hmmm:

[Catfish]

Ok..

What is that? If we only had a "devil" icon .. :arrgh!:

https://i.imgur.com/w95lKghm.jpg

[u crank]

It would appear to be a sailing ship. American?

[Catfish]

^ American.

[u crank]

Still in use?

[Catfish]

No, not in use today

[Buddahaid]

you could say someone 'pulled the trigger' the second time (Pacific)las opposed to 'setting the fuse' the first time...(Atlantic)and we'll recollect the Kamikaze attack, but ignore altogether, that didn't sink her!!


This is where SS-237 comes from. I just couldn't make the hollywood jump.

[u crank]

Was it a warship?

[Aktungbby]

those yards and sails are narrow...::hmmm: is this a canal or inland river cargo vessel?

[Jimbuna]

1800's?

[Catfish]

@u crank: Yes, warship.

@AktungBby: "is this a canal or inland river cargo vessel?" Neither canal nor inland, and no cargo (see above)

@Jim: Not that old.

re u crank's first double-question: i only answered one of the questions..

[u crank]

re u crank's first double-question: i only answered one of the questions..

Ok. Is it a sailing ship?

[Aktungbby]

launched in 1900?

[Catfish]

Ok. Is it a sailing ship?
No.

@AktungBby; Not in 1900; launched in the 20ieth century.

[Aktungbby]

steam engine?

[Catfish]

In a way, but quite advanced for the time.

[Aktungbby]

armed with artillary?

[Catfish]

^ no land guns if you mean that, otherwise well armed.

[Aktungbby]

so just machine guns then?

[Catfish]

Artillery is land guns only by definition :hmmm:
This ship had dual-purpose 38 calibre guns, machine guns and additional naval armament like lots of others of her class, and time.

[Aktungbby]

Almay boilers?

[Catfish]

Not Almay, more modern.

Hint: Built in the 1930ies

[Buddahaid]

Benham Class destroyer using new H.P. small water tube boilers?

[Buddahaid]

Ok..

What is that? If we only had a "devil" icon .. :arrgh!:



There is this...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Vmx8BcmdY

[Catfish]

^ hehe thanks :haha:

Special boilers, yes. So the type in question was rather fast but not as fast as the Benhams.


edit: OT was astonished how much different models and types were built, instead of just only a few types (for better interchangeability of spare parts), to keep the fleet up to date.

[Jimbuna]

Somers class destroyer?

[Catfish]

^ time is almost right, but a bit smaller

[Jimbuna]

Mahan class?

[Catfish]

Yes! But which ship .. :)

[Jimbuna]

Ok..

What is that? If we only had a "devil" icon .. :arrgh!:

https://i.imgur.com/w95lKghm.jpg

Looks like I need to go back to English class :o

I've answered what it is, not which one:hmmm:

Over to someone else....there were eighteen built.

[Catfish]

I guess it is me who has to go back to english class, i asked what that is not which ship, silly me.

You win :salute:

B.t.w. it was the USS Tucker
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tucker_(DD-374)
"... Tucker stretched her fuel supply by rigging Sails. Her homemade foresail (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foresail) and mainsail (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainsail) moved Tucker at an estimated 3.4 knots, letting her maintain steerageway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#steerageway) as she loitered on station several days."
She had a kind of inglorious end, hitting a mine that had been laid a day before by own US ships, but was not informed.

Not at all Kai. I wish my German was even 10% as good as your English.

A quick and easy one (imho)

Not English

[Aktungbby]

in NATO country?

[Jimbuna]

Nope but that is a good question

[mapuc]

if it's correct spelled it starts with a P.
