One of the interned ships at Lisbon harbour was used by the Portugese as Gil Eannes, first as a merchant ship, and in 1927 was converted into a hospital ship for thr Portugese fishing fleet operating in the Grand Banks off Newfoundland.

Very well done WWII44, but please note that supports for superstructure are usually drawn in 3 pixels width, and not just one, as is the case with your ship. I also think (can't be entirely sure) that the font in your credits is too large. I like the use of the house flag, but remember that most merchant ships (especially those under the 'Red Duster') flew the national flag from the stern pole (ensign stuff)
Other than that , it's a good begining, and so I'm hoping to see more merchant ships from you.

Not just most of them, they all did since they were required by various laws to do so.

WWII44, please remove old attachments as the space for them is limited, and it does slow the board down. This also goes for your thread.

If you want to post a drawing in several threads, please use an outside host like imageshack or photobucket.
