I have exhausted;

The Observer's Book of Ships, 1966

Ocean Ships, 1964 and 1986

Ship Recognition, Merchant Ships, 1961

Passenger Ships of the World, 1963

I am exhausted. But will keep looking for a Janes Fighting Ships, circa 1980.
So sorry I didn't spend more time looking out the windows instead of answering the Telegraph and watching the Start Air pressure dropping.

E-S. On a normal day I have five reference books close to hand and quite a large number of fleet history books, ie Blue funnel, Union Castle, P&O etc, on my bookshelves behind me. I spent quite some time yesterday in the Federal fleet history book convinced one of their ships, sold on, was one of the quiz ships. without success I have to say. I had the advantage of between radio watches I would often go on the bridge with binoculars because I loved ship spotting, occasionally through the porthole. Not so easy in the engine room.

Don't worry i will be trying something else shortly. I think you like Lighthouses if my memory serves me right.

I only liked Lighthouses on the way into port.

Like many others I do all the puzzles but don't post an answer unless I feel I'm in with a chance.

Well you should give an answer. If it's wrong i could give you a clue. Try finding out which firm have the funnel markings.

That is without doubt true but one of my trusty reference books is 'Flags, Funnels and Hull Colours' of 1963 and that is very useful for some of the companies that you are not quite so sure about. Blueys, P&O etc are obvious but it is useless if a British ship has been sold on with some unpronounceable name under the Panamanian flag. Used it for one of yesterdays clues and fell flat.
Have a go E-S. No one cares if you get it wrong and it means more of us joining in.

When i choose a vessel that looks suitable for a puzzle I then look for other images of the same vessel. Then I pick one of those which are under a different company. The site I sometimes use is right under your nose. No need to stick to books.

Oddly enough I almost never use this site to look for puzzle answers. No idea why. Seems stupid when you think about it.

I was not talking about this site. You say you like shipspotting. Well try trawling through the Shipspotting site.
