Choosing ships that have not appeared before is becoming difficult. Will have to think of something else.

you are doing a brilliant job with these puzzles.

I enjoy trying to solve them, but putting names to what looks familiar ships or shipping line dose take time.


The searching dose adds to the enjoyment, and helps us learn and expand our knowledge about the ships.

Thanks. However I can't see the point of having the same vessels in the puzzles over and over. I tried Trawlers at one time. There was no interest. It's only the old cargo ships, tall ships and passenger vessels that attract anyone. I think over the years I have covered most that are suitable for a puzzle.

Interesting.

I too enjoy doing any/all of the puzzles and if I get the answer so much the better. (Have to say I seem to be getting better!).

With the preserved ships, I suppose if you know the vessel type it is easier to look for it. For me, a specialised offshore vessel is OK because I know where to look but I can understand why other types (e.g. Trawlers) would have a similarly limited appeal. I am surprised that warships are not more popular but again if you are trying to identify a single ship out of large class it would be more difficult. So, yes, I have to admit that even I have a preference!

I suspect though that many of us get great pleasure in simply doing the puzzles and would have no problems with more specialised ships - the only problem being that you are limiting your answers!

Whatever CB, you are doing a great job!

I will post whatever I come across whether it's easy, hard or difficult to solve due to being multi class vessels. I would like some feed back like 'clue needed' and completed but can't name it, or just name the class if it is a warship.
