Looking for other sailing tall ships I could make part of this AU story, I found a marvellous three masted motorized barquentine which I modified a bit, removing the original funnel and putting in place a big saloon (like I found in the full rigged bark Stadt Amsterdam I had the pleasure to make a s...

Let's begin now with the way how Burmester & Stavenhagen began their ownership of big, merchant ships. The first six ships were sailing brigantines for merchant use mainly in the Baltic Sea. In that era (second half of the XIX century) maritime traffic was intense and in all three major oceans, the ...

History "Immigrants came in waves, many to find work in the United States, and others to escape upheavals in their own countries. Between 1880 and 1930, more than 27 million people made the journey from around the world. Ocean liners were filled in both directions, as millions also returned to their...

You know that I like to take a design which pleases me and begin to imagine how I would have done that same project, and for which purpose. Now, having begun here a full story of an imaginary shipping line of Northern Germany, the roots of which are described in the first post, I began "to feel" the...

My guess is that since the Marconi service was also available to passengers, it was easier to have the shack placed in an area accessible to the passengers, so as to keep them away from crew-only areas like the bridge.
Wow... that sounds logical! Never thought of that... Thanks a lot!

I sense elements of White Star's "Big Four" here...nice work! Thanks! I took as basis the project of Wesley Westland, who was again one member who spent immense time making a very nice drawing but needing some changes.

Burmester & Stavenhagen had a very big success with the three huge aforemnetioned ocean liners, making less headlines than its competitors but counting instead on the satisfaction of its clients regarding the prestige of the company, the high tecnological level of the ocean liners, the swervice prov...

SS Bonaventura had two sisterships, Bonafortuna and Bonafides , all built by Blohm & Voss and one launched in 1916, the third one in 1920. This latter one differed from her two "sisters" in that the steam boilers were heated (and superheated) burning fuel oil instead of coal, an enormous advantage. ...
