Hi guys, on a whim, I'm looking for (line)drawings of the liner SS Waratah, which was lost at sea near South Africa in 1909 and remains one of the great maritime mysteries.
Even a simple drawing will do.
TIA!

Re: Looking for drawings of SS Waratah.
I just noticed that she's strikingly similar in overal shape to the Shinano Maru auxiliary cruiser being issued by Battlefleet models. Waratah was launched in 1908 in Glasgow at a length of 465 ft, Shinano Maru was launched in 1900 in Glasgow at a length of 445 ft. What do you guys think, somewhat feasible?

See " Ship Models in Miniature" by Mc Narry. There you will find some data on building a model of this ship and the references that went with it.
