Default Coal Freighter 2900T

Sunk this coal freighter tonight. While waiting for the ship to get in fire position, kept thinking that the ship looks awfully large in game to only be 2900T.

So after the sinking, looked at the description info a little closer.

The SS Cree was a real ship. The actual ship type was a "bulk cargo carrier" which can haul coal, but other bulks was carried also. In fact when SS Cree was sunk in WW2, SS Cree was carrying Iron Ore.

Well here is the thing:

The SS Cree was larger than 2900T in real life and in game, the dimensions "eyeballed" appears too big for 2900T also.

Is this a stock ship? Anyone feel liking fixing this ship to have a correct tonnage?

Tonnage for this ship should be more like 4791T according to the link with the details of the SS Cree.

RIP 44 crew of the SS Cree - 21/11/1940
