There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

HMVS Gannet was a commissioned ship in the VCN, operating with the harbour trust as well, she could ship a 6" forwards and could steam at up to 12 knots, making it a useful and maneuverable gunboat auxiliary, launched in 1884, she would go on to have one of the longest careers of any VCN ships, lasting until 1946.

Like.

You've taken this from the picture of Gannet and Commissioner together haven't you?

I have another picture from the RAN's Heritage Gallery showing her with a light bridge structure and a different colour scheme.

I can't see the image unfortunately. Is majhost down or does Chrome not display images from that image host?

Wow I wasnt aware of the Gannet and Commissioner photo. Mainly I used the painting of the VCN fleet, in combination of the pictures of her time as a tug in Fremantle which is were she gained that bridge structure, paint scheme and lost a mast but was able to see where original features were


Shouldn't be, majhost seems to be working fine

So you found the picture of Gannet and Commissioner on the State Library of Victoria site? (Ref: H2012.262/9) ...or RAN Heritage Gallery Ref: 00602_Commissioner

Great addition.

Yes, thank-you, it was most informative and I have added details from the photo to the drawing
Thanks Eswube
