De SS Rotterdam (V) is één van de bekendste naoorlogse Nederlandse passagiersschepen, in dienst van de Holland-Amerika Lijn. Het maakte tussen 1959 en eind 2000 het laatste decennium mee van de trans-Atlantische lijnvaart en was daarna een succesvol cruiseschip. Sinds 4 augustus 2008 ligt het schip voor enkele jaren aan het Derde Katendrechtse Hoofd in de Maashaven in Rotterdam als drijvend multifunctioneel centrum.
The SS Rotterdam (V) is one of the famous Dutch postwar passenger ships in the service of the Holland-America Line. It was between 1959 and late 2000 the last decade with the trans-Atlantic liner and was then a successful cruiseship. Since August 4, 2008, the vessel is at the head of the "Derde Katendrechtse Hoofd" at Maashaven in Rotterdam as a floating multifunctional center.

Scratchbuilt model of liner SS America using basswood, brass. Purchased fittings included the Anchors, Chain, cast blocks, and anchor winch. This was built over the course of 4 years plus using very old Marine Model Company Plans (Now Bluejacket Shipcrafters) which have been long discontinued. Also plans and photographs from the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company where the prototype was built. The interior of the liner is finished off on the shelter and prominade deck levels. It remains the largest model I have built at just over four feet. The SS President Coolidge is below in the back, The early Cunard Liner SS Servia is in the bottom front. All three were constructed in 1/16th scale. The photograph does not do them justice but I was loath to take them out of the case.
Jeff had the FANTASTIC idea of using the Harry Potter Death Eater torsos for SS troops. I bought a two, loved the idea and bought eight more the next morning!

Baron Gautsch was an Austro-Hungarian passenger ship that sank in the northern Adriatic Sea on 13 August 1914, during its voyage from Kotor to Trieste, after running into a minefield that has been laid by the Austro-Hungarian Navy.
Brunel's SS Great Britain was a first for shipping in many respects. First iron vessel, first screw propelled. Remarkably this design of propeller (although a replica) is almost as efficient as modern designs.

I don't know the differences between the various models.

Dear Friends
Allow me to share with all of you, my tribute for the almost unknown Soviet / USSR series of small ocean liners of AZHARIYA class dated from 1926.
Their history as follows:
In 1925 in Leningrad, was founded the Central Bureau of Marine Shipbuilding.
One of the first projects was a passenger ship/liner with cargo capacity to operate in the Crimea-Caucasus line, capable also to operate till Mediterranean for further trading if necessary.
The project was handed over for implementation in the Baltic Shipyard in Leningrad also, for a German shipyard Krupp in Kiel.
Baltic Shipyard build between 1926-1931 the following steam ships:
Azhariya; Abkhazia; Armenia; Ukrainia
Because the ships of this class were build on different shipyards, the ships portrayed several differences.
Mainly, the German second series ships - Gruzya and Krim differed more in a pointy bottomed the rear part and showed better handling quality (13,1-13,6 knots) with a smaller main engine power.
Additional add-on motor ships of the Baltic plant increased the center of gravity, and the hold had to load 120 tons of ballast.
The Germans used later the project as a prototype for the creation of a Spanish class of liners to sails to the Canary and Balearic archipelagos, known as Canarias and Balearias classes.
During the 30 years of service, the Adzharya type of ships were later used as main basis for further classes of Soviet passenger ships operating in the Black Sea.
Five ships of this series have worked mainly on an express Crimea-Caucasus line, and the Ukraine also served as a cruise liner on Odessa - Leningrad line.
Five ships of the six were lost between 1941-1942., and Crimea was damaged and incapacitated.
After the war the ship was restored and the Krim worked on the Crimea-Caucasus line until the mid 60's.
SS Coya, 546 tons, built by William Denny at Dumbarton in 1890-92 for the Peruvian Corporation (a British-owned company) as a passenger/freight steamer for Lake Titicaca to augment the existing smaller MN Yavari and MN Yapura. Like them, the Coya was dismantled in the UK shipyards and transported to Lake Titicaca where she was reassembled and launched in 1893. She is probably the oldest surviving Denny ship. She was beached by a flood in 2001 and is now restored as a floating restaurant. Seen at Puno, 1/11/07. Scanned slide taken with a Canon AE-1 Program.
SS-Obersturmbannführer Vinzenz Kaiser holder of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross awarded to recognize his battlefield bravery. Kaiser died on the night of April 19-20 1945 when he was beaten and shot in American captivity.
It was during the campaigns in Russia that Kaiser started to make a name for himself at the Jelnja Bend, in Kiev and in the Borodino, Mozhaisk position in front of Moscow.
He was in command of an independent Kampfgruppe during the defensive battles at Waluki, which held the Russians at bay until the rest of the Das Reich Division could gather its units to counterattack. It was soon after this that he received command of the SdKfz 4 (Armoured) III. Battalion of the Der Führer Regiment, which he led in the counterattacks on the Donetz and Dnjepr sectors, capturing the vital areas of Losowaja and Novaya Vodolaga in the conquest of Kharkov. It was noted that during these attacks Kaiser destroyed four Russian tanks by hand, being the only regimental commader in the Waffen-SS to do so at this time.
For these achievements he was promoted to Hauptsturmführer and awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross in April 1943.
In June 1944 Kaiser was promoted to Obersturmbannführer and transferred to the 17.SS Panzer Grenadier Division Götz von Berlichingen, he took part in the battles of Normandy and the retreat across the Rhine and back to Nürnberg.
