Was the vessel's name chnged fom time to time in the course of her quarter-century career?

Jimbuna · 11-10-20, 12:57 PM

Including her name at launch she had a total of four names.

I remember the pleasurable experience of taking a nice long dip in the 25' square pool she had aft of her funnel as we sailed up the Shatt al-Arab in temperatures of 45C in the shade.

Afraid not. I'd suggest going back over the clues and look at dates in particular

Olivebank (4), Ex-Nara?

Spot on, one of the ships I actually had decent voyages on. She took me almost around the world.

Nuthin like history major/15 yr appraisal background to set nose to ground. All credit to Mapuc

: I knew I'd seen the post he referred to and that broke it wide open. I mistook the **** **** for the ship name instead of the company name and knew after mistake choice 1 MV Nessbank; Catfish would be hot on my six

...acing him out by 10 seconds is making my day! I also spent a lot of time looking at MV Tananger now a ghost ship renamed MV Alta, off the Irish coast: also built in 1976 as was the MV Derbyshire.

OK what's this?

Catfish · 11-10-20, 04:33 PM

Radiation "cleanup" at Runit, Marshal islands?

mapuc · 11-10-20, 04:51 PM

^^ I was thinking on writing

You don't have to look outside our forum..because Jim has 2-3 times the last 4-5 years mentioned the ship he was on.

Then I thought no...this is Jim's riddle.

Back to guessing

Catfish got it! too easy!

Catfish · 11-11-20, 03:45 AM

^ well this instantly came to mind, don't know why.
Not a cleanup of course, better spare the details

Other guess was the Enterprise in the film where they find "god".

Ok what is this?
