My take on the Charles S. Price, a 504ft ore carrier found floating turtle after the Great Lakes Storm of 1913. As there are no known plans of her and I'm working off of photos and my existing knowledge of Great Lakes Freighters I can guarantee she'll be of the same quality as my drawing of the Ben ...

After much hair pulling I finished the cargo hatches, note they don't line up with the plans due to one it's been deformed slightly from the compensation for the book crease and I could not for the life of me get them to line up evenly.

Also if any one is interested here is the page I got the plan from, it also includes many photos of the ship. http://w...
