Hi, RMinMunich, I got it Wrong, I didn't see this question if it was a repeat question. And I'm ashamed to think after previously owning a boat for so long I did get it wrong.

Wow what an idiot, I owned a boat for over 25 years up on the Norfolk Broads and knowing Port is left and Right is Starboard. I am thinking I am facing the front of the boat and that's the left side, but that's my left side, in a way a bit of a trick question, you just need to read the question properly and and just not jump in with the first answer that comes into your head, so yep I got that wrong BIG time . Yep my left wasn't the boats left,THINK IDYOT.

Just like TV ... All repeats!🤔
Hey Ho.
Be interesting to see if it launches the same discussion as last time.
😎

Welcome back Ed👍😀
Best wishes, Doug😎

Best of everything EdW, get well soon, Merry Christmas to all

Titanic seems to be favoured quite a bit recently 😁

Hang in there Ed! Now get down to the shop and get to work! Merry Christmas!!!

Edw good luck, let's hope next year brings lots of it, all the best for Christmas 🎄🎁 hopefully you will soon be tinkering again 👍

Edw a good morning
i thought it must have been something serious otherwise it would be impossible not visiting this site for a week. I wish you first of all a fast recovery from your surgery and i m shure being back on this site that will fasten your health and will you in no time being able to restart your building.
I wish you a merry x-mas and definetly a better start of the yeat than you finished it👍👍👍👍

Herman I am recovering from major surgery and some days I am not up to much but hopefully I will be myself soon
😂

And for a second I thought it was the Antikythera Wreck discovery of 1901 was the answer…where the famed Antikythera Mechanism was found.

edw
were you ill? not being on this site for a week???????????????????????????????????????????
YOU MUST BE ASHAME😂😂😂

Just caught up with question of the day, have not been on the site for a week.

Hi. I am once again confused. Isn't todays question about the Greek ship the same as yesterdays question?🤔

Titanic again! I watched a TV documentary, something like why ships sink and midway through it the design of the Titanic was was called into question.

To cut it short the opinion was that the ship would break in half sooner or later.
It was down to the weakness of the hull internals at the point where she did break up.

There were also pictures of ships that had broken in two whilst in dock. According to a search I have just done and dated Nov. 2023, 2 ships are lost at sea every week!
This does not include small craft like fishing boats etc.

Anyone for a cruise?

Roy

I really, really had to think about this one. Was going with the Lusitania, but changed my mind last minute…😀

Sure makes the answer easier when three of the four are a no brainer.
Rick

This is getting silly!🙄
Today the question and correct answer match.
Yesterday the same answers did not quite match the question, dates different!
But it was obvious, in both cases, that 3 options were definitely wrong.
Recall that there was bit of a debate the last time these questions appeared.
At least Roy will be 'chuffed' that Titanic is back again😉
Merry Christmas All🎁🎁🎁 Ho Ho Ho😁
Cheers, Doug😎

I looked it up on Wiki found this;

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Kyrenia Ship is the wreck of a 4th-century BC ancient Greek merchant ship. It was discovered by Greek-Cypriot diving instructor Andreas Cariolou in November 1965 during a storm

I was sure the first time around, and I still am now😁
Un autre déjà-vu!

A newer release from Dumas...https://www.dumasproducts.com/?product=great-lakes-freighter-kit-1264

This is a nice one on the Fitzgerald.

Never knew that, well you learn something new 🤔

Subject of an episode of the Lost Ships series some years back.
Turns up from time to time in German TV under the series title of 'Seenot' (Sea Emergency).
😎

Good question, but now I’ll be hearing the song in head for days.
👍

There was a great documentary on about Gordon Lightfoot recently. A good watch for sure! 😉

Good job that the other three choices were fairly famous. 😃

Hi all, I knew the question by reading the answers.
Welcome back Titanic as an optional answer.
However the conversation keeps going, the challengers of the answers reflect a wide knowledge by our membership and often raise other side interests.

Me to Cash.Great song by a Great artist.
Rick

If I missed this one I would have been very embarrassed. Got it😁

I checked on the Internet and they vote for the Soryu class from Japan.

Before that I thought the Kilo class was the best.
Roy

Thanks Dad, I remembered that one. You can remove your foot from my ass now. 😂😂😂

The Chinese are the world leader in diesel electric craft (SSK). They have 9 SSN's (Nuclear powered attack) and 7 SSBN's (Nuclear Ballistic missile). They also routinely purchase older Russian subs.

Hi the site I picked on said Submarines used in defence. Which is what all countries would claim! You would hardly expect them to say they were for attacking purposes. There are a lot around Korea and the Sea of Japant.

I would presume that as there are very few professional submarines, that was what the question was about..

I did see one operating in the Canary Islands it was bright yellow and descended to about 50 feet or so to look at the fishes! At the time it was £40 a trip and that was about 12 years ago.

You can of course buy one it is a bit at the high end of extravagant though.

But Hey! for all I know you might be a billionaire slumming it!

Regards
Roy

Is this military submarines or all types including exploration and other types of submersibles. What is the definition of a submarine - something that can travel beneath water?

I guessed China but I followed up with checking the top 10 0n the Internet. It is quite an eye opener!
Roy

I can't believe I gagged on this one. My late father, a Navy lifer, would have booted me in the ass! 😂

Wow, I have just jumped up a notch. Lucky the English Channel wasn't on there.🤣🤣Well I'm not really that daft.

Got it today!! My average was slipping.

jumpugly,
Or as me dear ole Mum (RIP) liked to say-
"Splice the mainbrace and lower the poop deck!"
G'night all😎💤💤💤💤💤

Strictly speaking Dead Reckoning (nor any of the other options) does not plot 'a course'.
Rather it plots the estimated position at the time of the calculation.
The 'course' you have steered is the compass heading you have followed.

😁😎

And got it right...right in the middle of a brutal storm here in Connecticut. But, still have electric to get online and (thankfully) to keep the sump pumps going. Batten down the hatches, prime the bilge pumps, and damn the torpedoes. I'm going to have to "coil up my ropes and anchor here until better weather doth appear." 😉

Have another wee dram, and it might auto correct the navigation, that is if you can find the right bottle.

I used it as well Doogle, to get to the kitchen. Ended up in the garage so will continue to use GPS from now on.😀

I used dead reckoning to plot the course back to the kitchen for another cuppa 😊

Yes Doug,
But you were, no doubt, dead on....😁

Another deja vu!
😎

I don't remember the 'light' bit either, which is why I wrote my bit about light.

Roy

I don't believe that was the wording when I read the question early this morning. Has it been reworded or am I dreaming?!!!

In the question it says down wind in light winds 😂

After a dry spell, I seem to be back in the black...for now.
