I'm totally bummed because in my Google searches for other cool movie vessels I have ended up with squat! Here is a list of movies that have some great old steamships highlighted in them:
I'm sure I'll remember a few more soon but if anyone here has seen any of the above films you'll know the ships I am thinking of. Old steamers with lots of booms!
- The Sea Chase with John Wayne
- Papillon with Steve McQueen
- Passage to Marsailles with Humphrey Bogart
- Krakatoa East of Java with Maximillian Schell
- The Decks Ran Red with James Mason

I with you c.captain.
John Wayne's ship in The Sea Chase was the Ergenstrasse.
Old Salt
John Wayne stream of consciousness:
John Wayne in "In Harm's Way" - all kinds of cool navy ships. (Can't help it - I was a Navy brat.)
I'm a bit biased, too, because when I was a kid we lived in the house on Ford Island (middle of Pearl Harbor) that John Wayne's character lived in!

Capt. Fran......awesome.

USS Belinda (APA 16) in "Away All Boats"
The book was great and the movie was a fair approximation.
HMS Compass Rose in "The Cruel Sea"
Again, the book was excellent and the movie (filmed on a former RN corvette) did a decent job of condensing a moving and honest portrayal of the Battle of the North Atlantic to the screen.

USS San Pablo
USS San Pablo from the movie Sand Pebbles.<o></o>
Not so much the boat itself but for the engines. The Chinese coolie Po-ans training will probably ring true to any engineer too.<o></o>
Strong Steam V.S. Sleepy Steam

Ok so where did that smiley face come from in my post I didn’t put that in there. It is the second time that’s happened. First time I deleted it now I just want to know how to prevent it.<o></o>
