Unusual hull design. I’d never heard of a “turret deck” ship.

Look up the history of "whaleback" vessels on the Great Lakes. One passenger boat - the rest were freighters. I think the design made a great deal of sense - but sailors just couldn't get comfortable with the look.Unusual hull design. I’d never heard of a “turret deck” ship.

It's quite a story.
Good luck to all,
