Great ships, as always.

I have a question. As far as I know the Liberty ship was the largest class of general-purpose cargo ship ever built.
What class of merchant ship is the most numerous today?

Hard to say. Administratively shipdesign doesn't work the same way it did back then, so it's hard to decide what makes up a class.
There are the obvious cases like the Maersk E-class, but those are a rarity.
There's a lot of standard hulls out there, but nobody considers them a class since aside form the outer hull, the ships tends to be radically different.

From this you will find only "smaller" ship!
Good job!

Alex, technically a brilliant drawing, but the more I look at it the more I look into the abyss - to parapharse Nietzsche 8-)

Very handsome (not the ship but the drawing :!: ) but also a bit awkward. Mærsk is the largest container shipping company in the world and though not a single container from it self :?:

They are all in the inner rows.

Would civilian ROROs go here? I'm currently undertaking the (dauntingly large) MV Queen of Oak Bay operated by BC Ferries


Edit: also, as I'll be traveling it's route the day after tomorrow, is it bad luck to draw a ship while you're on it? lol

Yes.

Definitely not. It shows your respect to the ship, and they like that.

Edit, this presumes that you ask the ship first. I've never heard of a case where as ship says no, but not asking is horribly impolite.
