That's correct. I had a good look at the Gladstone Star images. None had the same markings.

Looks like I will have to try something else. Good identifiable ships are drying up. Any suggestions ?

Nothing wrong with what you are posting, but perhaps with the limited numbers on this site compared to SN, the knowledge is not as widespread. British vessels will always be the favoured. If like me the bow-peeps are fading, there is only a limited time span to do them. But do not give up, as they have given hours of entertainment here & on SN.

The ships I have chosen recently from a site I came across are not being solved, apart from a couple. It has me confused. Maybe it's because most are not British.

I have looked at most of the recent unsolved ships and spent many hours searching, but I find some have little or no clue for solving the same i.e. flag, port or clear funnel image. As you say, you have found a new site, and many ships may be foreign but if the images do not appear on the general sites, there are too many images on the likes of ShipSpotting to search them all. I like the quiz and hope you find a solution.
