The Royal Navy purchased Lady Nelson in 1799. She spent her career exploring the coast of Australia in the early years of the 19th century. She was the first known vessel to sail eastward through Bass Strait, the first to sail along the South coast of Victoria, as well as the first to enter Port Phillip. The Lady Nelson was also involved in the founding of Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne and Brisbane. She and all her crew were lost to Malay pirates in 1825.
Tyco, any reason to be sure it is the Enchantment? I spent a few minutes poking around wikipedia looking at the Vision class ships and narrowed it down to either the Enchantment and the Gandeur. It is definitely a Vision class ship but how do you know which one? The MS Grandeur of the Seas is almost identical and also ports in Baltimore. If you can point out some distinguishing characteristic (there may be something different between the stern but I can't be sure) I can take this. What do...
From the link above, "Last month, China confirmed that it was refitting the old, unfinished Soviet carrier hull bought from Ukraine’s government, and sources told Reuters it was also building two of its own carriers."
These would really stand out in GM. I wonder if they are far enough along to see in the recent imagery.
The original instructions said mural of parts. Unfortunately all these murals don't count for the safari. I hate it that you spent so much time on these but I nixed adrbr's yesterday so I can't allow these and be fair. I'm really really sorry.
Decommissioned on 24 January 1985 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 30 April 1986, ex-Thomas Jefferson started the Navy's Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program at Bremerton on 1 October 1996 and ceased to exist upon completion of the recycling process on 6 March 1998. The sail is preserved in a park adjacent to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia.
Welll ... not really parts or on display. As I said, I'm not looking for just any boat out of the water. On display, yes, just pulled out, no. Sorry. :(
I suspect she hit the bicycle-eating pothole around the drain a few meters behind her. I've been almost taken out by more than a few of those. Evil things those are.

We've sort of had a policy in the past where someone could submit maps breaking down larger meta posts. For instance Air Museums later getting broken down plane by plane. I''m trying to be really loose on these safari's and just have a lot of fun. In this case we'll allow it. Are you Ok with that kkeps?
