Merchant Ships

Good evening, guys.

SS Mantaro, Urubamba and Pachitea were a trio of French made steamers, which were the backbone of the Compañia Peruana de Vapores in early XX Century. Despite being made some years before WWI, the vessels had a distinctive "demodé" look, with a clipper bow, victorian color scheme, and masts almost without cranes. In 1941 during the Ecuadorean-Peruvian war, Mantaro was under control of the Navy (civilian crew, civilian officers, Naval commander and executive officer) and was an important element in the war effort. Cheers.

Good morning, guys:

A Peruvian motorvessel, MN Rímac, a 13,500 tons cargo ship, twin of BAP Ilo; as seen in the mid 1980s. Cheers.

Good evening, guys.
This is a ferry called Tambor III, of Costa Rica. Tambor III was built by Maggiolo, a well known Peruvian shipyard with ample experience in fishing vessels, but with an increasingly widening portfolio. Cheers.


PS: Corrections done! Thanks Ace!

It's been a while since I checked the forum and I see your magnificent drawings, Aldo. Congratulations for them. I think I'll reuse some.

Thanks, Luis! I will be a privilege and an honour!

There are a few non-black pixels on the boat crane, that deserve fixing on this otherwise perfect drawing
