Titanic was forewarned about ice from two liners, one was French, the other German, what are their names?

White Star · « **Reply #1 on:** March 02, 2010, 10:06:09 am »

Mesaba and Amerika?

CAP · « **Reply #2 on:** March 02, 2010, 07:23:45 pm »

You've got one of the names...

White Star · « **Reply #3 on:** March 02, 2010, 09:26:16 pm »

You`ve got me stumped then cap. The only vessels to send ice warnings to Titanic, as far as I am aware, were Caronia, Baltic, Amerika, Californian and Mesaba. I could and probably will be wrong but I eagerly await the answer

Let's see if anyone else comes up with the answer, but there is at least one other ship for your list...

I`m in suspenders now

CAP · « **Reply #6 on:** March 04, 2010, 08:11:45 am »

The ship was La Tourainne. Allegedly she sent the first warning...

I'll pass on the questions etting

Interesting cap, you learn something every day.

In 1898 Morgan Robertson publishes a book called Futility about a ship that struck an iceberg and sinks on it`s maiden voyage. Can you name the ship in the book??

White Star · « **Reply #9 on:** March 06, 2010, 10:53:50 am »

I see reading does have advantages then.
Ok I will set the next question tonight as I'm out the door yet again for work. I had a short shift last night.

White Star · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2010, 07:30:26 pm »

Sorry plum forgot, right.
How long was the 2nd class promenade deck?

White Star · « **Reply #13 on:** March 17, 2010, 03:17:50 pm »

This is a tough one and it appears to have me stumped

waterboy · « **Reply #14 on:** March 17, 2010, 04:18:20 pm »

Right, I shall give you a clue, it is less than 200 feet but more than 100 someplace oh I don't know closer to the middle maybe maybe not?

White Star · « **Reply #15 on:** March 17, 2010, 05:18:19 pm »

160 feet?

waterboy · « **Reply #16 on:** March 17, 2010, 05:21:21 pm »

A little lower mate under 150 but more than 140 oh almost gave it away.

White Star · « **Reply #17 on:** March 17, 2010, 05:23:36 pm »

145 feet?

waterboy · « **Reply #18 on:** March 17, 2010, 05:25:17 pm »

BINGO, give the man his prize. You Sir can now set the next question if you dare.

White Star · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2010, 08:04:36 pm »

What deck and side of the ship was the gym located??

waterboy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2010, 08:10:43 pm »

Good question mate, if I recall it was at the top in first class, boat deck I think as to which side I think that a bit of a trick question as it was in the middle. Leaning to starboard side I think.

White Star · « **Reply #21 on:** March 18, 2010, 10:38:58 am »

Spot on mate, starboard side, boat deck it is

I will have to try harder next time

Over to you mate
