Where is this?

I'm afraid I saw the image before its name was changed too!

 

next time I'll be more careful

 

Wow this is running fast again, thanks Ward.

 

Graf Spee



That was tooo esy for a German, familiar with the naval history of the country. (and with Montevideo)




The rangefinder unrestored (2004)

 

being german is cheating

 

graf spee , a well engineered bad idea

 

i think the places that are picked should be linked to a historical maritime event or places and not just some obscure place

 

Well done Crag & Richard . . . ! ! !

I'll guess it's your turn now Richard, please make us a nice one..!!

Good Luck!

Here the promised 'how to (and not) info' for new participants of this thread.

 

gimme a hour, docking first...

 

the qe2 only took 20 minutes to dock

 

So I'll guess Richard has a bigger ship with less crew

Cheers,

The concept was just genious, being faster than the strongest, and being stronger than the fastest, made her a vessel the Royal Navy feared more than the Bismarck for example.

What have these pictures in common? Or,

where is this?








the "vulture" is endemic.

Good luck

 

Well that's the Isla del Coco in the Pacific belonging to Costa Rica.

It's supposed to be where the book Treasure Island was based and is most often associated with real life stories of buried treasure including that of Bloody Sword Bonito. Lots of people have been to look for the treasure including Captain August Gissler who lived there for twenty years at the end of the 19th Century.
