Sailship:Cutty Sark

Posted by Unknown | joi, 1 martie 2012 | Posted in ,



This is a tea-clipper built by Scot and Linton Co. of England in 1869. The Cutty Sark is the only extant tea-clipper. A tea clipper means a high speed sailing ship that transported tea from China to Europe, and all ships competed the transportation speed. The Cutty Sark was at its full blast to crown the end of the era of sailing ships with perfection in those days, but as the Suez Canal was completed and steamboats have emerged, the change of times forced tea clippers to retire. The Cutty Sark was sold to Portugal at one time, but returned to England in 1922, and preserved and exhibited along the Thames since 1954. It was burnt down by fire during the restoration work on decrepitude caused by long open-air exhibition, but since most of the parts had been retained in other locations, the restoration work is still in progress today.

Paddle Steamer (Sidewheeler)

Posted by Unknown | | Posted in ,

A paddle steamer is a boat with paddle wheels on the sides that are turned by a steam engine, propelling the boat forward. A paddle steamer on the ocean or a river is quite an impressive site, with its paddle wheels turning away and black smoke puffing out of its large chimney. In the old days, boats needed people to make them move through the water, or sails, which require technical operation, but in the latter half of the 18th century when the steam engine was utilized, the paddle steamer was developed. In the mid-19th century, with the improvement of the steam engine, and utilization of the screw propeller, the number of paddle steamers being produced began to drop. There are two types of paddle steamers: sidewheelers, which have paddle wheels on both sides, and sternwheelers, which have a single wheel at the back. This paper craft model is based on the sidewheeler type.

Hikawa Maru is a Japanese ocean liner that was completed in 1930. Her beautiful shape and the art deco interior, which was considered state of the art at the time, plus the excellent service onboard made her a well-loved vessel for the prominent figures who crossed the Pacific. She is currently moored at Yokohama Port, and in 2010 joined the Nippon Maru in celebrating her 80th anniversary. This paper craft is a scale model 1/400 the size of the actual ship.

Sailship : Esmeralda

Posted by Unknown | | Posted in ,

The Esmeralda, a Chilean navy training vessel said to be one of the most beautiful ships in the world, is familiar to ship fans around the world by her nickname “the White Lady.” However, the vessel has a troubled history. Shipbuilding on the Esmeralda, planned as a training vessel for the Spanish navy, first began in 1946. However, after an explosion the following year she remained unrepaired for several years, due to worsening economic conditions and other factors. Shipbuilding later resumed when it was decided that the Esmeralda would be transferred to Chile for purposes of debt repayment. In 1953 she was finally launched before a sea of onlookers, and has since sailed the waters of the world.
