Who knows the Truman's yacht? Rusted, burned and near to sink...
Here is her story

Aras (2°) - 1930

Very interesting work! :)
But maybe those vertical spars between the decks would look better 3-pixel thick?

Beautiful. This is a beautiful ship, and a great drawing. And I didn't know she was being restored, that's great!

She's not being restored. A group wants to, but they lack the funding. She sits in port in La Spezia rusting away. Probably beyond saving at this point.

most of that rust color looks like it's just the paint that have got some rust... but the most interesting thing is if the sea hull is in good condition. and if then engines is still good.

Honestly, how much would it cost to haul her out on to the land and let some one restore her...

A sad sight.

Great work, by the way, Lazer_One.
