Thanks so much! Sorry about all the mistakes - I guess I will have to be more precise when creating new ships, because SH5 seems pretty sensitive to taking shortcuts with the .dat files.
I am creating some new merchants and will hopefully have pix to share soon.
@Zedi: This is actually not the Cimmaron; it is based on the MV "Victor Ross" (seen here, sunk 1940), MV "Geo W. McKnight", and a number of sister ships and near sister ships, which were designed in the 1930's for use by Standard Oil (Esso) and its subsidiaries.
