SS Rotterdam, our cruise ship, from the cable car to Mt. Roberts in Juneau. It was the fifth Holland America Line ship called the Rotterdam. It was in transatlantic service from 1959 to 1969, then converted to cruising. The ship carried about 1,000 cruise passengers. It was retired by Holland America at the end of this season (1997).
The Camaro SS is motivated by a 6.2-liter V8 that can be had in two forms depending on transmission selection. When coupled with the six-speed automatic transmission, the SS is good for 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, while opting for the manual gearbox will net an additional 26 horsepower and 10 torque, for a grand total of 426 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.

SS Ayrfield (originally launched as SS Corrimal) was a steel-hulled, single screw, steam collier of 1140 tonnes and 79.1m in length. It was built in the UK in 1911 and registered at Sydney in 1912. It was purchased by the Commonwealth Government and used to transport supplies to American troops stationed in the Pacific region during WWII.
In 1950, it was sold to Bitumen and Oil Refineries Australia Pty Ltd and in 1951 sold to the Miller Steamship Company Ltd and renamed Ayrfield. Under the Miller flag, it operated as a collier between Newcastle and Miller’s terminal in Blackwattle Bay.
The registration of Ayrfield was cancelled on 6 October 1972 and the old collier sent to Homebush Bay for breaking-up. The hull is located near the mouth of Haslams Creek with the bow pointing towards the shore.
The SS Nomadic
The SS Nomadic - Tender to the Titanic and the last remaining White Star Line ship in the world! Has been restored to her original glory and is now back home in Belfast’s historic Hamilton Dock.
These Photographs are a record of just a tiny part of the restoration work carried out by volunteer groups. In this instance the team of volunteers was from the Central Vacancy Taking Team in the Department for Employment & Learning based in Gloucester House Belfast.
As part of a team building exercise under the auspices of Business in the Community’s Northern Ireland cares Campaign the CVT team boarded Nomadic on a beautiful morning. The ship was moored alongside the Odyssey Building and we were tasked to work in the former kitchen area. The vessel had been used as a floating restaurant in France. There were tiles to be smashed lifted and carted away. It was hard work but the teamwork kicked in and everyone enjoyed it.
So much more than Titanic’s little sister!
Originally built alongside the mighty RMS Titanic in Belfast in 1911, the SS Nomadic is much more than just “Titanic’s little sister”. Designed by Thomas Andrews and built using the same design and similar luxurious finishes the similarities to the Titanic are plain to see. Being exactly one quarter of the size of her famous friend, the Nomadic is often referred to as “a mini Titanic” Over 100 years of history and adventures are evident the minute you step on board.
In April 1912, the Nomadic completed her most famous task by transferring the excited first and second-class passengers from the shallow dockside in Cherbourg out to the Titanic, which was moored in deeper water just off shore. In awe of the White Star Line luxury and ground breaking design those passengers were blissfully unaware of the tragic fate awaiting many of them only days later.
With active service in both World Wars, over fifty years experience of carrying thousands of passengers to the world’s largest trans-Atlantic liners and nearly thirty years as a restaurant and party venue moored beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris the Nomadic has a million stories to tell.
As the last remaining White Star Line ship anywhere in the world and a member of the core collection on the National Historic Ships register, the Nomadic is back “home” in Belfast, after 100 years, and has been painstakingly restored to her original glory. The Nomadic has now opened a new chapter in her history and is looking forward to welcoming a whole new generation of visitors on board.

Olmax Fabrication LLC debut their production version of the SS Trike at the 2009 AMD Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building located at Champions Park in Sturgis, SD. The SS Trike resembles the classic “Big Wheel” Chopper-style design that we all rode as a kid, which is sure to put a smile on your face no matter how old of a kid you are.
Builder Jason Nieman is entered in the Production Class at the World Championships and will be competing for the gold with other storied manufacturers like Brass Balls Bobbers and Choppers, OCC Motorcycles, Big Bear Choppers and Big Dog Motorcycles just to name a few.
The SS Trike comes with a long list of race-breed features including composite body, a 24-inch Olmax Fabrication polished front rim wrapped in a Metzler, American Racing 14-inch rear wheels and digital speedometer. In addition, the trike sports American Suspension front end, 6 speed or automatic transmission, and a choice of power from Ultima, S&S or TP.
The popular automatic transmission option features a bullet-proof design lifted from automotive racing applications, which met Olmax Fabrication LLC reduced weight and packaging requirements. The design is sourced from a General Motors Powerglide system that is a current racing standard, which delivers smooth and consistent shifts.
Extending in the race inspired theme is a custom 2 into 1 performance pipe that connects into a chambered muffler. The dual exhaust pipe at the rear of the trike delivers a healthy rumble that is a cross between a muscle car and a sweet-stroking Harley.
The SS Trike is designed to comfortably accommodate a variety of enthusiasts from 5’ to 6’2” tall in fewer than 5 minutes. Selecting two different seat heights and three different foot control locations is a snap and easy to do.
The SS Trike is available in all primary colors. Additional options include graphics, Wire-Plus digital speedo, air-ride suspension, a solo seat with enclosed trunk, multiple trim treatments and a black or polished engine.
To see the SS Trike in Sturgis check out the production class at the World Championships located at Champions Park in Sturgis, SD. To speak with builder Jason Nieman in Sturgis, call him at 715-630-9090.

SS Traffic was a tender of the White Star Line, and the sister ship to the SS Nomadic. She was built for the White Star Line by Harland and Wolff, at Belfast, to serve the luxury Olympic-class ocean liners. SS Traffic ferried some of the third class passengers to RMS Titanic for her maiden voyage (It's worth mentioning that SS Nomadic transported the First and Second Class Passengers and SS Traffic transported the Third Class Passengers ). SS Traffic continued as a tender during the First World War, servicing the troop transports and carrying British, American and Canadian troops. Traffic and Nomadic were sold to Société Cherbourgeoise Transbordement in 1927, and continued to serve as tenders, but now called on any large vessels using the port. Traffic accidentally collided with RMS Homeric on 5 June 1929, and sustained some damage to the starboard side of her hull. After enquiries revealed that Traffic was notoriously difficult to handle, new propellers were produced by Harland and Wolff and fitted in October 1929. Despite proving effective, Traffic was involved in another collision in December 1929, this time involving SS Minnewaska, of the Atlantic Transport Line. There was only minor damage. Minnewaska was involved in another collision two years later, this time with Nomadic on 29 November 1931, during which Nomadic's bow was damaged. Nomadic and Traffic's owners became Société Cherbourgeoise de Remorquage et de Sauvetage in 1934, and both ships were repainted in the new livery and renamed, Traffic becoming Ingénieur Riebell and Nomadic Ingénieur Minard...During the Second World War, as the Germans invaded France, Ingénieur Riebell was scuttled by the French Navy off Cherbourg on 17 June 1940, in an attempt to block the port and deny her to the Germans. She was subsequently salvaged by the Germans and used as an armed coastal vessel. She was torpedoed and sunk by the Royal Navy while serving in this capacity, on 17 January 1941. The location of her wreck is currently unknown.
Although the name MacBraynes is synonymous with shipping on the west of Scotland, there were also two other companies - John MacCallum & Co and Martin Orme & Co. Each had only one ship and pictured here is MacCallum's Hebrides built 1898. Orme's equivalent was the SS Dunara Castle. MacCallum and Orme merged in 1929 and were taken over by MacBrayne's in 1949. The Dunara Castle was immediately scrapped but the Hebrides survived in the MacBrayne fleet until 1955.
The Hebrides was primarily a cargo ship but with passenger cabins and her leisurely sails round the Western Isles were marketed as cruises in summer.
MacCallum and Orme didn't compete with MacBraynes. As a rough generalisation MO's cargo ships specialised in east Islay, Colonsay, west Mull, Coll, Tiree, Small Isles, west Skye and the Outer Hebrides from Tarbert south. MacBrayne's covered the rest.
So well kent was the Hebrides on the west of Skye and North Uist and Harris that this was the obvious name for the new car ferry (seen here) introduced by MacBrayne's in 1964 to run from Uig to Tarbert and Lochmaddy. The current Uig ferry (seen here) is also called Hebrides and has the bell of the original on display onboard (as seen here).
