    Wikipedia offers the charming information that the Bremen landed on Greenly Island on April 13, 1928 after the first successful east - west crossing of the Atlantic by an aircraft. The first person to see the plane was Antoine Letemplier, when first sighted, he ran to his parents and shouted "Flying fish! Flying fish!"

    Strange that it doesn't say what ship this is.
  • Rick Hamell said:
    Zooming in on the picture it says Carmania. Possibly the RMS Carmania en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Carmania_(1905) ?
  • Stefano said:
    It says it in the tags..... Carmania....
  • Elijah said:
    Just because it is in the tags now does not mean it was when Lú posted. Anyone can add tags to these images. The Carrnania tag was added by Pixel Wrangler, but I don't know when. (Tags show authorship, but no dates, in API.) -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

    Carmania belonged to the Cunard Line. She entered service in 1905 along with her near-identical sister Caronia. Of the two, Carmania was equipped with turbines whilst Caronia had the standard engines, an experiment designed to determine how the upcoming Lusitania and Mauretania would be engined. Carmania was the faster ship. The experiment was a success and the new liners received turbine engines. Carmania served as an Armed Merchant Cruiser in World War 1 and has the distinction of being the only liner to engage and sink another liner named Cap Trafalgar in a battle of Trinidad in September 1914.

    Looks rather small for a transatlantic vessel from that time. Beam can't be more than eight or ten feet. Given the sailing mast, they didn't have complete confidence in the powerplant I guess.
