I don't see why a fishing trawler (type of hull configuration) cannot be a tramp steamer (type the shipping contract works). Trawlers were comissioned as minesweepers in WW2. Of course it would have to be cleared of the fish stench first.....
Oh and if you haven't seen this 28mm scratch-built one by Schweizer, check it out ASAP!
wasn't someone chucking out "nobel-prizes for scratchbuilding"? why did this one not get one?
totally amazing! thank You for bringing it up! it has totally slipped under my radar. were there any games?
