The name on Blue Star vessels of this era were usually painted in Gold letters on the Black Hull. Making then difficult to see at a distance and in poor light/shadow

I utterly agree with you Denis regarding this beautiful photo,, but I wonder why is the ship's Name on the bow written so low & hardly visible !??

Whoa! Amazing post, Gordy, to start the day with on here for me! One can go and build some 17th century tall ship replica, but sadly these fine merchantmen will be never repeated - only those that are still afloat as museums (and I have such one in my town - VITYAZ).
