What Ship is this?

[Simpo Two]

Hm, well I've just been through 'Record Breakers' by Arnold Kludas and it dosn't seem to be a Blue Riband holder...

Maybe the ship DID have three funnels and the artist only bothered with two?

Nice work.

The Willem Ruys, which later became the Achille Lauro?

Hijacked by the PLO and they pushed a man in a wheelchair over the side.

I believe they pushed him overboard because he was an American....which I guess made it ok in their minds....just as well Bill Clinton then went on to shake Yasser Arafats hand at the Whitehouse, and that`s why they`re all friends now.

Good spot on the ship

Ha ! I saw that trailer on the M25 at jnc 3 two days ago.

It spent the night at J1 and the driver stopped to go into the secret automated door in the side to check on his flower stock at about lunchtime.

Then later caught fire off Somalia and sank in 1994.

Well whoever was hosting the original picture seems to have had their bandwidth busted by PH - it's not loading!

Imageshack I think.

Theres a similar flower lorry that I've seen a number of times in various parts of the country with a huge picture of a steam loco on, in a very similar style.I presume it's the same company. Anyone know what sort of locomotive it is. My guess would be an LMS princess class loco, but only because i think it's maroon. Anyone got any pics of it?

Found a pic and its not maroon at all, must have been the sodium lighting at the time, in fact it's clearly a continental locomotive as it has a headlamp.

Belgrano?

Hard to tell from the painting if there is a huge hole in the side. It does appear to be listing ever so though.
