Thanks Chris!

You must have one hell of a collection!

Indeed, at the time (1916-15) the ship had an occre red linoleum deck, for the nature of the tint is of course subject to various interpretations at a time when color photography was in its infancy.

This coating was quickly abandoned during WW1, as it was deemed too flammable, and the steel decks were painted.

Paris green (Schweinfurter Grün) was also phased out in 1918, I believe, as it was too dangerous for painters' health.

It's hard to know exactly what shades of blue-grey were used, but in 1915, they were quite dark.
