Lots of great work here, and of lesser known ships too.

Eight of the small monitors where converted into commercial tankers for Anglo-Saxon Petroleum (now Shell). These ships were all operated by the Curaçaosche Scheepvaart Maatschappij.

Ooh, I quite like these mini-tankers! Very attractive little ships in that function and colour scheme! I tip my hat, good sir.

Those ships had a very interisting history. Very nice to see them here!

Excellent work on these small tankers as well as the monitors.

HMS Mersey as taken over by the Royal Navy in 1914. She and her two siblings were large, shallow draft river gunboats ordered by Brazil in 1912 to patrol the Amazon River. The Ships were built by Vickers, but Brazil was unable to pay. All three were eventually bought by the Royal Navy and commissioned as Humber-class monitors. They were propelled by a triple expansion steam plant which powered two large propellers placed in a tunnel between the rudders. Their armament consisted of a single - Vickers designed - 6" twin turret forward and two 4.7" howitzers aft. Four light 3pdr guns were mounted on the wings of the deckhouse.

This thread just gets better! God work!
