Why do I see a black stern/ruder...?
The reason for that is unknown to me.

I would also like to know what is up with the black section, and to offer some hair-splitting criticism, I noticed some stray pixels next to the subtitle, and I feel that the tension of the aerial running both masts looks weird.
Good catch on those stray pixels, I had an anxious moment finding it ... :lol:
The tension of the wire between the mast is also fixed and looks better, even to me ;)
As for the black section ... seems we'll have to see if some member here can explain it :?

As for that area, you marked so nicely in red, it is colored above, in red, to explain.

During WW2 the US shipping administration was planning for the time when the war would be won and over with. As part of the plans, a large number of ships was required to replace wartime losses, and to replace the old ships. Part of the plan, and specifically for the European market was the small N3-S type of ships. These were small steam powered vessels, modeled on what was known the 'Baltic trader', and where built especially for Britain. As such they were all steam powered, some even with triple expansion engines and were designed to use coal. Many of these ships found their way, after the war to many small ships operators, particularly in Greece as well as Norway. One such ship is the Basra which was bought by her operator in 1952.

The end of WW2 found the shipping world with a large number of quite new ships, although slow and with a short lifespan. These of course were the Liberty ships. After the world Italy had purchased a large number four going to the Italnavi Compagnia di Navigazione. In 1953 the company converted its Liberty ships to motor ships, replacing the triple expansion engine with a higher powered Fiat Diesel engine, increasing speed from 10kts, to 13kts. And yet again, in 1957 these ships were taken in hand and were converted for the carriage of cars, each ship could hold around 1,000 cars, and were used to transport Fiat and French Simca cars to the united States and Canada, from 1957 to 1965
