Merchant Naval Ship Types

Hi Me Hearties!
Have just opened one of my books "Shipping Wonders of the World" by Clarence Winchester, no date so I therefore believe it to be first edition early 1930's.
Apart from many items of interest is a series of 40 different typs of Mercantmen.
Herewith a sample, if of any interest I will post others over a period.
Cheers
Keith

I would be interested, especially if we can link types with their use during the war.

I too would be interested in these posts.

Hugh

Hi Hugh,
I can tell by your flags that you will be interested.
However their wartime association I can't help.
The book is early 1930 so no reference to WWII activity.
However they seemed to be very detailed line drawings, that I thought someone would be interested.
Each drawing of course has to be scanned, then brought to an acceptable size, so it needs a fair ammount of time.
That said the first one is now done, so if I carry these sizes over the time will now be halved.
Did you catch my "Lead up to D.Day story"
Cheers
All the best
Keith

Thought I better show the Royal Navy rank structure for Hugh.

I know the RNVR was called the wavey-navy because of the shape/style of their rank insignia, but was there a nickname for the RNR and their "chain" rank insignia?
