Possibly most of us are too long in the tooth to have sailed on such specialised vessels, probably most of us sailed on 4 - 5 hatch vessels with 10 -16 derricks and if we got something with 6 hatches and 18 plus derricks we thought we were on something big, and anything that wasn't a Liberty or an Empire vessel was a bonus. I sailed on vessels from tiddlers of 115 dwt to large 36,000dwt, the 36,000 are now considered tiddlers. Perhaps those who could tell us about the specialised vessels are still young enough to be still working and don't have time to regale us.
