Britanons, a moment if you will:

How hard would it be to get rugby televised in the US? There is a cable channel "BBC America" but I was wondering if some of the other networks could carry rugby the way re-runs of the old Thames Television Benny Hill Show were broadcast. I ask because the National Football League has gone more retard and now even college players want songs removed and yes, idiots are after statues again. I was hoping to show what such "sportsball" looks like without all the armour padding and helmets. Thank You for your Time

A few photo of HISPANIOLA out there. I'd wonder if those more familiar with the video recall a bit where the space between the deck and the bottom the the bridge over her can be seen.

Hello again Britanons! Boatfag here. I understand that the UK has or did have a party known as the Whigs. Supposed to be middle-of-the-road "let's compromise and get things done." Does this party still exist? All I've heard of for months on this side of the Pond is "Labour" and "Greens" and such. Not wanting to interrupt good digs but I figure if I have a question regarding the Brits it would be best to ask the Brits directly

>>9603235

I had to put the request out on the General board but it is Graveyard Shift right now so trying again when Day Shift is onboard may help. Refer them to >>9608345

From what I can see it is possible. TATTERSHALL CASTLE was a Paddlewheel steamer so her bottom should be flatter than HISPANIOLA.

>>9621551

Just imagine Doug, applying yourself to something positive for a change

>>9585054

Does the LisaMI6 video show the Whitehall Stairs ahead of TATTERSHALL CASTLE? At low tide the stairs are completely exposed and at high tide completely submerged

>>9635504

Always with the muh joo nonsense. To think of the wasted effort is just sad.

>>9635361

Quite nice anon! Other than >>9634689 and the Whitehall Stairs I can only figure at this point boatfagging has little left. Right now all I can think of is if tour boats/water taxis can be positively identified in the LisaMI6 video we might be able to work out the time based on the vessel's schedule and starting point. I would guess tour boats along the Thames in London would not be "high speed craft" so spotting such a boat and knowing where on the river she started from and what her cruising speed would be could help. Humble boatfag is humble but trying to help

>>9636090

Not sure if you have no other reason to exist than to troll such as Ms. Pratt or you actually are paid. Then again is does not matter does it? In time I and the other anons here working will walk happily down the streets. Shills and trolls after being exposed I would think not so much interaction with the public at large

>>9636414

Britanon I have set foot in at least 16 countries other than mine own during my time in Service but I have never been within 200 nautical miles of London that I know of, can only guess. Pics look the same, stairs exposed at low tide. Humble boatfag only saw chart position marked Whitehall Stairs and knew of no other name

>>9640472

Britanon perhaps this should be taken over to General and be run through Tineye or some such by an anon much more experienced in such things than ourselves? True diggers seem to come up with much better

>>9640491

When I put in the pic I was more interested in TATTERSHALL CASTLE having her brows up at high tide and the stairs beyond being submerged. Never looked to see the banner on her stern saying anything about Christmas. Anons have the most amazing abilities, am most warm fuzzy feeling about being able to boatfag. If no one has said it lately…YOU FUGGING ROCK!

According to tineye.com this image is first posted to the internet on 29 October 2014

The signage below the forward brow indicates TATTERSHALL CASTLE is open Friday and Saturday until 3 AM. Photos original date is 8 November 2013 according to tineye.

My view of the world while underway tended to be only through radars. Combat Information Centers don't have windows. You need a Quartermaster, not an old Operations Specialist. I found these though:

>>9662846

Oh great learned one, enlighten us as to what about the "boat shit" you would dispute? Back in your hole

>>9663021

I know you are aware of how the IDs and I know your entire reason for being here is to attempt to distract actual anons. Did the meeting not reveal how such tactics only make anons work harder? I also know your intent is to cause emotional reaction in your efforts. Again, the poor quality of your training shows. Ex-military barely have feelz for you to hurt, oh call center reject. Enjoy what attention you can get here, until you become boring and are simply scrolled past. At least try fresh material more often than the muh joo shill, he's gotten to be just lame

>>9663247

The idea is to nail down the timeframe of the LisaMI6 video that is part of a Q drop. The location and color schemes of the rides at Winter Wonderland and the paint scheme used on TATTERSHALL CASTLE, which is known from a maritime website to have changed over the years, in particular the funnel. Filter if you choose, will not bother me at all

>>9663406

How quickly the same "tells" give you away as the shill here. Strange how you would think I was talking to myself, do you hear voices much? All I see now is there is something about that video that scares your masters. I've been under direct shill fire before and remain unfazed. I've just become more motivated to find out what secrets have triggered the increase in shill population. Funniest part is low-level shills most likely have no idea what it is they are trying to keep concealed, just make sure the insults and distractions keep up.

The part of the puzzle that still gets to me is the lack of Christmas decorations on the Victoria Embankment. If Winter Wonderland for 2013/14 went from 23 November until 4 January (see >>9619015) then the video is from before the decorations went up or after they were taken down. If taken down on say 2 Jan, then the time frame narrows to just a few days in 2014. Screen shot is from the only mention I found thus far about when the decorations/lights are up and lit.

>>9664451 (me)

My bad, WW was 23 Nov to 5 Jan. Sorry, have a plane with an interesting tail code

>>9666881

PBY Catalina had two engines and the wing was on a pylon above the fuselage. The beauty in the pic should be a Shorts Sunderland (Brit planes for my Britanons)

>>9665600

Went poking around a bit more. So far the tour boat operators in the area with more than one vessel are City Cruises (who own HISPANIOLA) which cease runs at 1800 London Time and Thames Clippers that operate until midnight seven days a week. Earliest timetable found so far is June 2018: https://www.thamesclippers.com/assets/doc/Online-Timetable-June-2018-fc0756fde6.pdf

>>9667153 (me)

Forgot images of Thames Clippers

For Process of Elimination. An anon on General stated the three lights that we were hoping were Orion's Belt was the giant slide (London Orbit) but that tower is to the northeast of the traffic cam position and would not be visible.

Let us start our tour of the northern winter constellations.

Orion

• Best seen: At 21:00 (9 PM Local Time) during the month of January

• Coordinates: Between latitudes +85° and -75°

• Messier objects: M42, M43, M78

• Brightest star: Rigel (Beta Orionis) with an apparent magnitude of 0.18

• Stars with known planets: 10 stars with 13 planets between them

• Neighboring constellations: Eridanus, Gemini, Lepus, Monoceros, and Taurus

www.astronomytrek.com/winter-constellations-of-the-northern-hemisphere/

Went hunting around for when London starts putting up the Christmas Decorations and lighting the streets. Earliest mention I've seen so far is 1 November with 14-16 November being the latest dates given.

Attacks like yours help identify you as the shill. You obviously have no idea how the IDs work. Your attempts to provoke an emotional response are a big give away. Now the fun part: directly going after "boat shit" with your partner shill from previously only shows a nerve has been hit. The next move will be another shill to attack in a similar manner or you IP hopping to try and appear as a different poster. It's the same playbook used over at General. Your methods are old and stale and within two weeks of a newfag lurking easily spotted.

>>9675501

Anyone going through those posts of mine not only can see date and timestamps but scanning the content can see how I am trying to help with the dig that has touched a nerve and brought forth shills. The same timestamps can show how I am around what is late afternoon for the UK and late into the night as I try to keep up with the time difference. I am flattered that a bit of boatfagging has caused so much stir on what was a rather serene board. Something on that video and in the traffic cam has somebody very unhappy. Keep trying to distract with the attacks, it only means anons are onto something.

>>9675988

How did I know that was going to get tried?

>>9676128

A nerve got stepped on, that I am sure of. Now back to actual Board business: One night an anon on general posted this for how to control you tube videos as frame by frame. I took a screenshot to share and this might be a good time and place.

>>9677633

OCTOPUS? These days usually Spielberg's SEVEN SEAS, Wexner's LIMITLESS, and Geffen's RISING SUN get watched. I remember when the shill fire got intense right after I posted fresh positions on FREEWINDS (Church of Scientology cruise ship) and the Hunter E-98 REVERIE in the same post

>>9678636

Anon, would you please try 5 November 2013 from the same position?

Was going back over the video of https://youtu.be/YLhJW6JJJqo?list=PLhBOOxdTN4JgTNeaR8PkIKCMZD5iqWG79&t=58 when I noticed something. The LisaMI6 video shows a small light on at the after brow of TATTERSHALL CASTLE that is not as bright as the lights down the Embankment, does not shine far, and looks like it is only enough to light the end of the brow so the employees can leave for the night. That brow is astern of the funnel.

Now looking at an enlarged image from of the traffic cam 2847 it looks to me like the large floodlight on the side of the funnel is still lit. If traffic cam pic is prior to, or just at closing time when the employees clean up before heading home, that would explain the amount of vehicle and pedestrian traffic for me. I do not have access to images from London's traffic cams or I would compare the volume of traffic during different days and times to get a better idea of when the image from the Q drop would most likely be. I have looked several times but still can't make out if the lights on the bow are on. There is one on the jackstaff and another much lower. Spitballing I know, but maybe another anon can pick something out of all this

>>9572325

Thank You Jon, did not know about Joey until today. I looked him up. I learned something new today, much appreciated!

>>9683472

DREAM WEAVER is definitely a "blast from the past" and checking on her again she still seems happily moored in Palma de Mallorca like she was last night. Position is from just now.

Britanons, boatfag again. Went through videos of London Christmas in 2013 on you tube and found this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNaA22SvLjc

Post date is 23 November 2013 and shows Christmas lights around town but at time 14:18 there is shot of Victoria Embankment and also TATTERSHALL CASTLE. I see no holiday decorations nor extra lights. Another shot at 16:58 shows the Embankment again and I see no extra lights from the RAF Memorial all the way to Big Ben. 23 November happens to be the day Winter Wonderland opened that year. It looks like any night while WW was in operation, and we have a high tide but after hours for TATTERSHALL CASTLE, is back on the table

>>9700065

Hurricane Xaver crossed over Britain on 5 December 2013, the Thames Barrier was closed in response but there was flooding in many places. If the weather was that bad for the 5th and maybe 6th, I think those two days can be crossed out for our video and traffic cam, not seeing anybody would want to be out in the mess. Question is did the Thames return to a normal water level on 7 December?

>>9701300

One of the banners in previously posted pics is the one for the comedy night. The round logo to the left is the "boat show comedy club" held onboard TATTERSHALL CASTLE on Fridays, Saturdays, but also Tuesdays. The one in the image for LisaMI6 closest to the brow looks to me like somebody's face but I can't make it out.

>>9701494 here's another image with that banner that seems to be a face, I really can't tell. Colors on the funnel show pic is right timeframe (prior to 2015 refit) Second pic is better image of the banner for the stand-up comedy

>>9701743 (me)

More banners up forward, unable to make out what they say

I just had this thought: The LisaMI6 video and the Q drop traffic cam shot show clear skies right? Bad storms happened in 2013 from 5 December all the way to 25 February 2014. A calendar may be nice combined with weather during the time Winter Wonderland was open. Any nights socked-in where the stars would not be visible can be crossed off as possible dates. Was there enough of a break in the storms after 5 December where the skies were clear enough to see stars but the Thames was swollen enough that it appeared to be high tide?

>>9701811 (me)

Looks like the banner in the middle is the one advert for booking the ship's bridge. This video (19 seconds) was posted 30 March 2013:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psfnR-5udu8

>>9702231 (me)

Looking back again it looks like the banner nearest the brow in the LisaMI6 video that I'm not sure is a face seems to be the same one from the 8 November 2013 pic under the forward brow. This was the banner that clinched the operating hours for 2013

>>9703886

forgot to post source. Trying to take into account the bend in the river, could be approach and departure stacks of planes.

Posted a request for planefag assist to General. It posted as the 703rd so cross your fingers. For reference it is: Bread #12425

>>9707415

So there are plans to have TATTERSHALL CASTLE become a "Scheduled Monument" after the Victory Parade or is there something higher status in mind where an old sailor like me can't come walk her decks, caress her rails, and raise a pint?

>>9701300

These may help. WW opened on Saturday 23 Nov and last day Sunday 5 Jan. Hurricane Xaver went across UK on Thursday 5 Dec so doubtful traffic cam would have even seen Big Ben. Then stormy Saturday 15 Dec with a WW closure on Monday 23 Dec. Back to the clouds, if there is total cloud cover on a date during that time it cannot be when the LisaMI6 video or the traffic cam image were done. Process of Elimination.

Test

>>9746264

From General, thought Britanons might like to see it

>>9748918

How do the constellations fit for November of 2013? There is still the issue of Hurricane Xaver passing over Britain on 5 December, then the storms running from 15 December into February. The weather caused Winter Wonderland to be closed on at least 23 December. The Thames may be swollen with storm run-off when the LisaMI6 video is taken so counting on high tide is kind of iffy.

What I think is important is both the video and the traffic cam image from the Q drop have clear skies. Nights would total cloud cover could be eliminated

>>9749936 (me)

This is why I cannot be certain it is really high tide being seen.

https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wea.2469

>>9750031

I'm more focused on November 2013 because of the heavy weather that Winter. Clear skies are in the images so I'd be after those nights. What if… we are looking at the night of Thursday 28 November? Thanksgiving Holiday in the US, not London. TATTERSHALL CASTLE would have closed at 11 PM which could help explain the amount of traffic visible in the Q drop image. Was there a high tide that night? A night with clear skies from 23 November when WW opened to maybe 3 December (Hurricane rain bands come to mind for the 4th) may be likely candidates. That date range, and a US holiday in there, helps me rule out storm run-off in the Thames so high tide comes into play

>>9750264

HISPANIOLA sitting the highest I could find. I'd have to run around in the search engines again to find the original to throw into tineye for a date. What do you think?

>>9750570

If these are all "gubmint employees" they can play the "Duty Calls" card for holidays. Boatfag is old sailor and knows about being far away on holidays

>>9750626

Is there a baker around or should I ask over at General for an assist?

>>9750056

Only way I can think of is to exit out completely, then come back into QR and then the bread. Always wipes out my filters when I end up having to come back in that way

>>9750744

Did a quick check. February 18 was a Tuesday in 2014

>>9751290

Now comes the part where was the Thames still swollen from all the storm run-off and then high tide rolls around and we see HISPANIOLA sitting up that high at her moorings?

Dated for 11 February 2014, shows how the Thames burst her banks and flooded areas. The 18th for the date of our pics is looking better and better
