LA FRANCE w/ tug boat in harbor (LOC)

    fantastic pic!!!

    Strange... because this ship is not La France. La France was a four funnels liner in service between 1912 and 1935 and she was bigger. This liner seems to be La Provence or la Savoie or la Lorraine (sister ships) in service between 1900 and 1922. I don't know why the negative mentionned La France....

    The "France" is on this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/5963832939/ I think the name of this ship is "MAJESTIC", slightly visible after some photoshopping on the high resolution image, see www.flickr.com/photos/66311327@N05/14583478701/ If so, it's this ship: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Majestic_%281890%29 The photo could fit IMO. On 17 October 1913, the Majestic came to the rescue of the French schooner Garonne, which had wrecked. The Majestic and a tug boat are mentioned in an article in The Evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, December 04, 1913, Image 4, col. 3, oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn99063812/1913-12-04/ed-1/se..., "MRS. PANKHURST GETS HOME - JAILED".

Section of Turbine for VATERLAND (LOC)

    Per Google's translation service "vorne" means front, but of what is that the front in the lower left?
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    Photo is stamped 19th Feb 1913. Marked Blohm & Voss. More about Blohm + Voss on Wikipedia.
  • swanq said:
    perfgeek, My suspicion is that "vorne" here is more in the sense of "fore", as in "fore and aft," which describes the axis of a vessel from bow to stern. When parts are constructed for later installation, it is usual to mark or label them to ensure they are installed the right way round. So "vorne" probably indicates that the turbine is to be installed so that the tube facing us is pointing forwards in the ship.

    since the ship was launched 04-03-1913 this must be well before that. This would be one of 4 turbines.

Arrival OLYMPIC, 6/21/11 (LOC)

    Of White Star's three ships of this type, the Olympic lasted the longest. The Brittanic was sunk in the Mediterranean while functioning as a hospital ship during WWI. The Olympic was called Old Reliable, and was finally broken up in 1937. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Olympic
  • Sam Wise said:
    And then, of course, the third ship of the type was the Titanic.
  • JSleeper said:
    Actually, the Titanic was the second. The Brittanic (originally called Gigantic) was the third. After the Titanic went down they put her on hold for a bit, building up the watertight compartments and adding a lot more lifeboats. She never got a chance to be a passenger liner, though.
  • Robert Carrier said:
    Amazing photo! Thank you once again LOC!

    Haven't parts of the Olympic been used in a pub in England or Ireland?
