Let us now finish with the subject of the Granville Freighter.

First of all, I must admit that I had overlooked the information about the ship's dimensions on wrecksite.eu.
Since Lloyds, among others, is given as the source here, I assume these data to be correct.

If you compare the pictures in the photo montage, you can immediately see that some loading cranes are missing (in front of the bridge, amidships and in the aft area).
Furthermore, the raised stern area is missing.

If you look at the 3D model, it has the dimensions 92.0 x 12.6 x 6.0 m while the original was 110.6 x 15.24 x 7.62 m.
Taking over the original dimensions would be a mistake, as then no exact target solution can be determined due to the incorrect length.
Furthermore, a mass of 2325 tons is given in the model.
I would change the information in the museum to 4.071 GRT, as 2325 tons of goods can certainly be transported in 4.071m³ of ship's space. The dimensions of the model will not be corrected in the Museum and the .CFG because they depend on the model.
The .CFG-file will get 2.325 tons

I therefore suggest to leave the ship as it is and rename it Granville Type Freighter.
Other name suggestions are welcome.

Regards
Blueduck
