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.

She's either doing a sliding 'drift' to her berth, or has a serious list, SS Taroona approaches a lonely, empty wharf at Port Melbourne, Australia, during the late 1940's.
SS Taroona was an Australian transport ship, built in Glasgow in 1934 by Alexander Stephen & Sons for the Tasmanian Steamers Pty Ltd, and commenced her run on Bass Strait in 1935.
She was requisitioned for service as a troop ship in World War II by New Zealand, and carried troops from Auckland to Suva in January 1942, and again in March 1942.
On her return she was immediately requisitioned by Australia as a fast troop carrier. During her first voyage as an Australian troop ship, she carried 480 troops and supplies to Port Moresby.
In her war time career Taroona traveled 204,535 miles and carried 93,432 troops and although frequently under fire during her ninety-four trips she remained unscathed.
Taroona arrived in Sydney 4 February 1946, ending her career as an Australian troop carrier. She was handed back to Tasmanian Steamers.

SS Great Britain is a museum ship and former passenger steamship that was advanced for her time. She was the largest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1854. She was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859), for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service between Bristol and New York City. While other ships had been built of iron or equipped with a screw propeller, Great Britain was the first to combine these features in a large ocean-going ship. She was the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic Ocean, which she did in 1845, in 14 days.
The ship is 322 ft (98 m) in length and has a 3,400-ton displacement. She was powered by two inclined two-cylinder engines of the direct-acting type, with twin high pressure cylinders (diameter uncertain) and twin low pressure cylinders 88 in (220 cm) bore, all of 6-foot (1.8 m) stroke cylinders. She was also provided with secondary masts for sail power. The four decks provided accommodation for a crew of 120, plus 360 passengers who were provided with cabins, and dining and promenade saloons.
When launched in 1843, Great Britain was by far the largest vessel afloat. But her protracted construction time of six years (1839–1845) and high cost had left her owners in a difficult financial position, and they were forced out of business in 1846, having spent all their remaining funds refloating the ship after she ran aground at Dundrum Bay in County Down near Newcastle in what is now Northern Ireland, after a navigation error. In 1852 she was sold for salvage and repaired. Great Britain later carried thousands of emigrants to Australia from 1852 until being converted to all-sail in 1881. Three years later, she was retired to the Falkland Islands, where she was used as a warehouse, quarantine ship and coal hulk until she was scuttled in 1937, 98 years after being laid down.[2]
In 1970, after Great Britain had been abandoned for 33 years, Sir Jack Arnold Hayward, OBE (1923–2015) paid for the vessel to be raised and repaired enough to be towed north through the Atlantic back to the United Kingdom, and returned to the Bristol dry dock where she had been built 127 years earlier. Hayward was a prominent businessman, developer, philanthropist and owner of the English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. Now listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, Great Britain is a visitor attraction and museum ship in Bristol Harbour, with between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors annually.
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.

Le SS Meadcliffe Hall vers 1954
Le 5 septembre 1942, l’équipage du navire marchand SS Meadcliffe Hall a raison de craindre le pire. Le sous-marin allemand U-165 les surveille attentivement. Une torpille est lancée, le navire marchand est visé. Rien à faire pour les marins attaqués, l’engin meurtrier se dirige vers eux. Contre toute attente, la torpille rate sa cible et file vers la côte. Elle y explose dans un fracas d’enfer.
Au village de Saint-Yvon, toute la population est en émoi. Les plus hardis partent à la recherche d’éventuels débris. Roch Côté accompagné de son cousin trouvent, à quelques mètres dans le fleuve, la partie arrière d’une véritable torpille allemande. Quelques jours plus tard, la Police provinciale et des membres de l’Armée canadienne viennent inspecter la torpille et la réquisitionne pour des fins d’expertise.

The SS Meadcliffe Hall, around 1954
On 5 September 1942, the crew of the merchant ship SS Meadcliffe Hall has reason to fear the worst. The German submarine U-165 had them under close surveillance. A torpedo was launched, aimed at the ship. There was nothing to be done for the sailors being attacked: the deadly missile was heading straight for them. But against all expectations, the torpedo missed its target and speeded toward the coast, where it exploded with an infernal roar.
In the village of Saint-Yvon, the whole population was in turmoil. The boldest set out to look for possible debris. Roch Côté, accompanied by his cousin, found the rear part of a real German torpedo, a few meters away in the river. A few days later, the Provincial police and members of the Canadian Army came to inspect the torpedo and requisitioned it for expert assessment.

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.
The SS United States is the fastest ocean liner ever built and the largest built in America. Her future is uncertain, so please help the SS United States Conservancy in their efforts to restore and preserve her as a waterfront development and museum. www.ssunitedstatesconservancy.org
