Where is this?

[Guillermo]

Hey hoytedow! Raggi's done it! He has found exactly the same picture you posted. See post 2504.

I thought my teaser was going to be a very easy one...
But anyhow, here a definite clue for it: follow my signature......

Cheers.

Did you see my answer right below "Canada!"?
Picture from Port Darlington, close the POW camp in Ontario.

Look at this:


today it looks like this:


But what happens in Veere 2010?
Banjer meeting???

I did remember a visit in Walcheren around 1995 and looked for the cannon in Zeeland. And so I found it. A joke: I did stay in the Building! : http://www.campveersetoren.nl/

Beautiful local.
Say, to backtrack a little...RE: "Some sections are no longer standing, so the current title holder may be the airport terminal on the artificial island that serves Osaka, Japan, which is only 1.7km. Longest building, I mean"
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford was the longest until recently, at 2 miles. Now we have the Large Hadron Accelerator at CERN at 17 Miles. These are arguably buildings and not just tunnels, in "particular", SLAC, being partially above ground. I'm giving it to the CERN accelerator. If only Feynman were around to see this...

Yes, of course you are 100% correct and I apologise for missing your post. You left it after I departed to work and I overlooked it when I returned.

I apologize.

Well if we say HOUSE instead of building CERN and SLAC are out of the race. And prora was partially blasted in the 50ies and 60ies but there are still more than 3km standing! Apart of that, it was never completely finished! They had other problems at these days.

BTW CERN: you know that the Internet was developed at CERN !?!

Ok then....
a example of discipline, courage and determination. 50 men on a adventurous trip through enemies territory.
The Odyssee starts 9. November 1914 in the Indian Ocean.

Their Ship was sunk and they had to go back home, they managed that by using quite strange transportation sometimes. A shooner, a steamship, donkeys, rowboats, camels, dhows, horses, railway!

This was the final destination:

This was the "official" destination:
where they arrived 23. Mai 1915...

Where did the Odyssee start and where did the trip end?

The ship, the commander.

Der Kleine geschützte Kreuzer Emden?

[hoytedow]

“SMS Konigsberg, scuttled in the Rufiji delta in July 1915 out of fuel (coal); the crewcarried the ship's guns, mounted on trunnions.”
“The Dar-es-Salaam machine shops manufactured carriages for the big guns and for a long time they were the heaviest artillery present in the bitterly contested land battles which followed. Of the Königsberg's original crew of 350 men, only 15, including Captain Looff, survived the war and returned to Germany.”
Captain Max Looff led the men.

I'm confused: history corresponds to the "Emdem" shore party commanded by Mücke in Direction Island (Cocos), but image of the ship is from the "Konigsberg"

edited: oh, I see! there were several Emdems! And the WWI's Konigsberg and Emdem looked very similar.

Yes they did look very similar. The Panzerkreuzer "Aurora" in St. Petersburg is a sibling too!

the wreck:

From dDirection Island the journey started with SMS Ayesha:

and ended in?

Wiki:

Karl Friedrich Max von Müller (June 16, 1873 – March 11, 1923) was Captain of the famous German commerce raider, the light cruiser SMS Emden during World War I.

The journy ended at the Haydarpasa train station in Istanbul..

[hoytedow]

Ultimately, the journey ended where it started. Germany.

Hmm, in principle yes (to say it like Radio Eriwan), but where? Or where was the trip "officially" complete?


Oh, I see Ragnar has replied too!

Yes correct! Von Mücke thought the Railway (known as the Hodaida Bahn) was already going from Konstantinopel to Hodaida, but was only finished to El-Ula by that time. (and never completed to Hodaida) Later known as the "Bagdad Bahn" the track was built by the German Reich as a gift of Kaiser Wilhelm to the Ottoman Empire. The main station Haydarpasa is still in the original condition and still the main Railway station on the Asian side of Istanbul. Today the track ends in Aleppo Syria.

no not correct! Von Mücke was the Commander of the adventurous land expedition! And the one on the picture. But my question was a bit vague I excuse!

And the final destination was "Feste Königstein" near Dresden where many of the crew met after another adventurous trip through Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, because they were travelling with falsified passports.

So, who was the "winner" ? Guillermo gave the first hint, and named Keeling, Ragnar the exact answer of the destination.

Both can make a 50% teaser?
