Very nice pictures of a submarine Peter!!
As far as pictures not appearing it is another nail in the coffin of firefaux as far as I am
concerned following the recent exposure by RMD of its silly prediliction to cock up long
URLs.For my part I fail to see what is so very wrong with Internet Exploder anyway.
Where did you find the pix ???
You did say you came across them "online" i.e. they were on the internet already so you could have simply used their original URLs instead of having to save them then
upload to imageshack.
I just did a google image search for the MV Selkirk Settler.
and discovered just one picture on:-
http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuil...hip.asp?id=628
revealing that this Montreal registered grain carrier was built by men wearing kilts!!
Also somewhat surprisingly her propulsion is just
One 2stroke 4cyldr Sulzer oil engine 10880hp
which does not sound like very much to me

Note "oil" so much for "steamships"!!
