Comparsion Model Ship

Lenght 96.5m 98.6m
Draft 6.2m 5.8m
GRT 2923t 2931t


Also notice the "W" letter on the funnel on the real ship it is "WF" represents William France, Fenwick & Co., Ltd.That is the only company I could find with letter W initials and it is one of the biggest collier owners in Britain.

The mast in the center of the ship model is taller that the real ship,but the moddeller didn't specify which ship he is really after so I can't say this is wrong.The rest of the sister ships dont have that mast at all.

What is your option can we confirm this is a match?
Have to say, despite the 3D model, looking a tad shorter than the ship in the pic, below the model...

It does bear very close resemblance to the naked eye...
