rego007 Posted June 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Please forgive me if this has already been covered, but I just looked at a Nassau webcam, and Grandeur has some pretty significant damage to the port bow along the top / rail. Does anyone know what what happened, and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rego007 Posted June 26, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Thanks, LadyShiva. For whatever reason, my photo attachment wouldn't take. For all I know, it may not be recent damage, but I don't remember seeing it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATSEAMYLIFE Posted June 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2018 If that was recent there would be crew out there looking at it. It's got to be an optical illusion. Plus not much at that height to run into to wrinkle that area without major damage to the bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbeergut Posted June 26, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Looks damaged to me as well, wonder what happened and when?? I think it must be a reflection or an optical illusion. If I stare at the webcam, the damage appears to change with time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rego007 Posted June 27, 2018 Author #18 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Ugh...it sucks not being computer savvy. The photo I captured from the same website (with better, earlier lighting) clearly shows it's damage. The top edge of the hull plating is bent upward, and you can see where the steel plating was pressed in against the inner "rib" type framework beneath. Also shows what looks like lighter damage on the leading edge of the bow, below and forward of the anchor housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted June 27, 2018 #20 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Given the poor quality and being unable to zoom on the photo, and my bad eyes, I can see what folks are talking about, but can't tell for sure what it is. Let's look at things one at a time. The "damage" mentioned below the anchor could have been there for years, and likely will be there for the life of the ship. That type of "damage", where the contour of the dent is gentle and smooth, and doesn't affect framing (it looks "squarish" which means it's between frames) is not considered to be harmful to the ship's structural integrity in any way, and any repair to it would simply be cosmetic, and in that area of the bow, the steel plates are in "compound" curves (curved in two directions) which are exorbitantly expensive, so they tend to not be replaced unless required. Now, I see what might be damage at the top rail, but again hard to see detail. I'm having trouble finding a good picture down towards the Grandeur's bow from the bridge area, but it appears to me that the bow mooring station is open to above, and this entire area of ship's side above the "slots" in the side for the mooring lines is simply "bulwark", or non-structural extension of the ship's side. Again, since this is a non-structural part of the ship, repair of nearly all damage (as long as nothing is dangling or in danger of breaking off) is not required, and any repair would be cosmetic. Hull plating is not uniformly smooth, it will "pant" and bow between frames depending on the heating of the plate, so in the morning a given plate may be smooth, but in the afternoon there is a visible curvature inward. The plate is held at its edges by the framing, so thermal expansion has to "grow the plate in between the frames, causing the slight bowing. Whether or not this bowing is visible or not is also dependent on lighting and point of viewing. So, this "damage" could have happened years ago, and unless the right environmental and lighting conditions were there, you may never have noticed it. None of it looks fresh, but again I would need to see a bit closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted June 27, 2018 #21 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The damage at the top rail has been there for years. I have pictures from 4 years ago that look the same. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
