Re: A Great Site for Great Ships!
What do you mean "not much in the way of pictures? Did you go to the index of ships and check on various names? There are plenty of pictures there!

Re: A Great Site for Great Ships!
Ooops!!!  I beg your pardon, Lightsy...there are indeed ship photos on that site. You're also right again. This "is" an awesome site indeed! I loved seeing Titanic's April 14 & 15, 1912 log too. Very sad to say the least, isn't it?
Just as I mentioned on this forums' earlier thread that bears her name, I am trying to locate the SS Ville de Havre, but with little or no success. She was eastward bound, when she sank sometime during the years of 1871-73, when she collided with another ship, also out in the North Atlantic. I think she may have been an early steam vessel with one/or two port/starboard side peddle wheels, but I'm not too sure.
Can you please help me find her?
Thank you.

 Re: A Great Site for Great Ships!
I don't know if you tried "googling" the SS Ville de Havre but I did and came up with some interesting links.

Thank you, Lightsy, for these two sites about the SS Ville de Havre. I did try "googling" & "Yahoo-ing!", but came up empty...ZILCH!!! for the ship, herself, but...not for the hymn.
I also wrote down the lyrics to Spafford's beautful hymn, that I found still yet on another site: It Is Well With My Soul. There, it shows pictures of him & Philip P. Bliss, who wrote the music for his "It Is Well".
Rev. Billy Graham's choir sang "It Is Well", in an "much" earlier pretaping of his Birmingham, AL, Crusade...for which his sermon also bore the same title too. This well respected Evengelist, looked "quite" young then...way before he now looks today. Today, he is really getting up in years, and his son, Franklin, has taken over his crusade.

Re: A Great Site for Great Ships!
The latter links are excellent. I'm not too sure about greatships.net though. I'd look into Atlantic Liners which I also have reason to believe has a book out as well. It's a lovely lookig website with excellent information and images.

Re: A Great Site for Great Ships!
 
Typo on my part in the URL, sorry. Regardless, that is the correct site, nice work Lights! I think the blue and black are neat, as is the main image. The information with emphasis on articles and quotes from the Titanic Section are quite useful. My favorite articles are "The Iceberg Damage" and of course, "The Wreck."
Oh, and here's a funny quote from the site.
Quote:
Her legendary status has evoked more attention than any other Atlantic liner has ever received, and nine decades after the tragedy, we are still fascinated by her life and loss.
Why?
Because it’s the Titanic…
 So true! Of course there are specific reasons, but it's still funny.
