This thread will contain various US Merchant ships, as well as other merchant ships which were designed but not actually built. And so for the first one, from George G. Sharp a C2 hull conversion, for the AGWI lines, for a proposed New York to Cuba and New York to Puerto Rico services. The conversion of 5 ships was proposed, but in the end the 5 C2 type hulls were much less modified when they eventually put into service.



Feel free to add your never built merchant ships in this thread

In 1939 the Norwegian shipping line of Øivind Lorentzen A/S Sobral ordered two ships from the Moss shipyard, both ships were to be named with the Rio names. The two ships were captured on the stokes during the German occupation of Norway in 1940 and completed as mine support vessels and named MRS-25 and MRS-26 (see the Real Life thread).
As cargo ships the two ship would like like this

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

almost all Norwegian boats was used in Banana traffic, but they did also transport other necessity, like coffee, etc.


side note:
Øivind Lorentzen was among the biggest player in shipping back then in Norway, not that he had many ship, but he basically did run Notraship during WW2 and was also one of the those that changed Norwegian boats from steam to engine/motor and liner shipping

Nice addition.

These were to be used on the company's services between Brazil and North America.
