SS Raffaello of the Italian Line, 50,000 grt, built by Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico, Trieste, launched 1963, completed 1965, laid up in the Bay of La Spezia, 06/76. She was bought by the Sha of Iran in 1976, badly damaged in the Iran Revolution in 1979, torpedoed in the Iran-Iraq War 1986, sinking in shallow water, and then later rammed by an Iranian cargo boat. Local divers then looted the hull, which apparently still exists. Scanned slide taken with a Canon AE-1 Program.
SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann (Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler) was credited with the destruction of 138 tanks and 132 anti-tank guns, along with an unknown number of other armoured vehicles making him one of Germany's top scoring panzer aces.
This is the SS LITHIUM built in 1917 by Cochrane & Sons of Selby for the United Alkali Company (later I.C.I.) with a Gross Registered Tonnage of 301. Broken up at Dunston-on-Tyne 1/1955.
She is seen here in 1938 steaming peacefully in Scottish waters, but on March 27, 1943 when the aircraft carrier HMS Dasher exploded in the Clyde estuary when escaping aviation fuel ignited, LITHIUM came upon the carnage shortly after clearing Lamlash Bay when bound for the Tail o' the Bank. Joseph F Terretta, captain of the ICI coaster SS Lithium could hear the screams from the water but could see nothing for fire and smoke. The Skipper decided he had no choice but to steam right through this hellish scene in an attempt to locate those doing the screaming. He picked up around 60 survivors, but as many were lost, their oil-covered hands slipping through the hands of those trying to rescue them. An incredibly brave action, and when he had delivered the survivors to another ship standing clear, he just steamed back on his southerly course again. 379 crew members died . Captain Terretta had to explain why he was late arriving at Llandulas, but he never told his own daughters. It is widely believed one of the dead from HMS Dasher became 'the man who never was', whose body with a briefcase of secret documents to deceive the Germans was washed ashore in Spain.
A print piece for my good friend Tiger. Owner of one great Candy Apple SS with a blown 396 that causes minor earth tremors and small children to run when he comes into my neighborhood. Thanks for all your help with getting my suspension dialed in my Bro!!

SS Rotterdam, also known as 'The Grande Dame', is a former Holland-Amerika Line (HAL) ocean liner and cruise ship, now a hotel ship, permanently moored in Katendrecht, Rotterdam.
The Rotterdam (the 5th ship by that name) was launched by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands in 1958, and was completed the following summer. The Rotterdam was the last great Dutch 'ship of state', employing artisans from the Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process.
Her career spanned 41 years. She sailed from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000.
In 2013, the Rotterdam was sold to WestCord Hotels, which also owns the 'Hotel New York' located in the former Holland America Line headquarters building in Rotterdam.

UP AC4400 #6010 and SD70M #4954 await departure at South Saint Paul with separate manifest trains. UP's Saint Paul Terminal is quite a mess; it contains at least four different yards for bringing in carloads, something inherited from the CNW days.
OPALA SS
PRIMEIRA LEVA TINHA MOTOR 4100
SEIS CILINDROS E 140 CV
A década de 1970 foi efervescente para o setor automotivo. A classe média estava em ascensão, podia cobrar qualidade embora não tivesse dinheiro sobrando. Por isso, as fábricas começaram a desenvolver veículos conforme as necessidades brasileiras. O Opala é o samba entre projeto alemão e motor norte-americano, com o gingado brasileiro que deu certo.
O começo da linha surge quando a GM aproveitou um projeto da Opel, Rekord C, sua subsidiária alemã, com o motor invocado do Chevrolet Impala, com ajustes da equipe de engenharia brasileira. Alguns dizem que o nome Opala veio dessa junção.
Eis que o mercado jovem crescia e outras marcas estavam lançando produtos de olho nestes motoristas. A Chrysler dispunha do Dodge Dart e Charger RT e a Ford do Maverick. Era constante a pergunta sobre uma resposta GM. Então, em 1971, veio o Opala SS. O trio de muscles brasileiros estava completo.
“O público da época buscava apelo esportivo e esperava algo a altura” comenta um especialista Antigo Motors. E veio. Logo na primeira leva, motor 4100 de seis cilindros, com potência bruta de 140 cavalos, chegando fácil aos 170 km/h, algo muito bom para a época. Embora as portas para importação de carros estivessem abertas para quem se interessasse pelos verdadeiros muscle cars, os brasileiros sabiam que poderiam ter a sua opção nacional.
O formato de “garrafa de coca-cola” é uma característica em toda linha, variando questões de acabamento e mecânica.
A suspensão era considerada macia demais para um esportivo, mas eficiente. Os freios, a disco na frente e tambor atrás, bons para segurar o carrão. As faixas pretas no capô e laterais de longe expressam a esportividade do modelo, bem como as rodas de aço em desenho de estrela. “Daí surge a linha SS. Um carro que acima de tudo, tinha aparência esportiva” explica o estudioso.
O modelo quatro portas não era bem aceito, tornando raro um exemplar como este.
Nos anos seguintes, predominância do modelo duas portas, sem coluna central e janelas desprovidas de molduras. No interior, sofisticação que aprendeu com outros modelos da linha, manopla e aro do volante de madeira. A esportividade ganhava entusiasmo com um conta-giros no painel.
A comunicação para chegar até os consumidores era na base da esportividade. “As regras de trânsito não eram tão rígidas, embora o limite de velocidade tenha nascido na mesma época” conta o parceiro Antigo Motors. Portanto podia-se vender desempenho e velocidade sem receios. “Naquela época só se andava chinelando” recorda-se. Embora ainda hoje se venda desempenho nos anúncios de autos, é algo mais brando e por vezes apenas sugerido, como “agilidade no trânsito”.
A sigla SS – Alguns dizem que se o carro fosse para atender o consumidor norte-americano, a explicação seria “separated seats”. Porém, “para o público brasileiro “super sport” traduz melhor o que se esperava de um carro naquela época” diz o especialista. Isso porque o Opala SS oferece individualidade ao motorista, acento separado, influindo de forma subjetiva no poder centralizado sobre guiar o carro.
A continuidade - A partir de 1972 o teto do modelo apresenta uma caída acentuada para trás, seguindo o apetite pela esportividade. Em 1976, novidades no motor que passa para 250-S, cuja potência saltou para 171 cavalos brutos e o modelo se tornou o mais rápido do país de acordo com teste de importante revista da época. Nesse período, em plena crise do petróleo, foi lançado opção de quatro cilindros, SS-4, mantendo apenas na aparência a musculosa ânsia pela velocidade. Após quase 10 anos de história, em 1980, a linha SS se despede do público.
