very nice, though she was a steamship and not a Motor Vessel.

Class effort on the BRITANNIA, I think she is the first modern mega-cruise ship to be drawn in this group (apart from the QUEEN MARY 2 that is).

You are still missing some details compared to this rendering which come out as the new livery was announced:

She will be registered in Bermuda. Bermuda-registered ships fly a version of the Red Duster:

Shame that Cunard ships are no longer registered in Southampton...talk about the end of an era!

The next ship is famous only because of her involvement in one of the greatest marine tragedies.
RMS Carpathia was on her way from New York to Fiume (today Rijeka Croatia), when her radio operator received the RMS Titanic distress call (relayed trough Cape Race station). Captain A.H. Rostron, immediately ordered his ship to change course towards the last known position of the stricken ship. Sailing at 20 knots the Carpathia took four hours to reach the scene, by which time the Titanic had already sunk, and Carpathia rescued 705 people from the freezing water and brought them back to New York.
Carpathia herself was sunk by U-55 on 17 of July 1918 with the loss of five crew (all from the engine room, killed when the torpedo penetrated the hull).
A sad end to brave ship

Nice, only one issue the name seems a little bit too big.

Beautiful drawing and sad history ;)
Maybe the name is a little to big, but doing it smaller it would be unreadable :?

Thank you all. I've made the name too big, as I felt it should be visible and readable. A version with smaller font can be done, if it will be required.

A small mistake in history of RMS Carpathia: her normal speed was 14kn and she managed 17.5kn when changed course for Titanic wreck, of which was 58nm away from Caprathia position.Captain Arthur Roston ordered the ship's heating and hot water cut off in order to make as much steam as possible available for the engines. She arrived at about 03:38 (other sources say 04:00), after passing several times close to enormous icebergs at maximum speed.

The ship itself is very good, congratulations!
