PHILLY?

Jimbuna · 03-03-21, 11:01 AM

Yes

Clue: Not the only one of her class.

As in a sailing ship?

If so, no.

Aktungbby · 03-03-21, 01:24 PM

^ as in cargo carrier: steam driven?

Jimbuna · 03-03-21, 01:30 PM

2 x Steam turbine engines

I can see someone suddenly turning up and pinching this after you've led them to the 'promised land'

Aktungbby · 03-03-21, 01:38 PM

USS Cyclops which Clive Cussler wrote about in the fictional book Cyclops. The actual collier Cyclops disappeared with all hands; one of four ships in her class. I found it by posting: "novel based on William Cramp & Sons ships" ...that company being one of three Philly ship builder. Two of Cyclops's sister ships, Proteus and Nereus, vanished at sea during World War II. Both ships were transporting heavy loads of metallic ore similar to that which was loaded on Cyclops(manganese) during her fatal voyage. In both cases, their loss was theorized to have been the result of catastrophic structural failure, but a more outlandish theory attributes all three vessels' disappearances to the Bermuda Triangle
