After much searching, I have been able to find information on the hull of the TS Leda, more a model of the boat. where the image was taken from a bad angle, but I got confirmation from the picture about what kind of hull shape it has and could compare it to other ships built during this time period and therefore get an almost exact hull of her.

So this is a update of her with hull, and new colors on cranes (From gold color to blue/grey color)

Nice work!

Thank-you! Has any one drawn this yet?

This one is how she looked in real life

I'll try and get some more info on this collier, such as who built the original ship
Any way she was built in 1955 by Austin & Pickersgill as Steyning for Stephenson, Clarke & Co.
The vessel ended its life under the Egyptian flag as Abeer Delta in 1993.

On 2001 and after the arrival of the Luxury HSF Knossos & Festos Palaces, the old lady sold to china and renamed as Ming Fai Princess and served as Cruise ship!...Now days you can still see her anchored at the Typhoon Anchorages SE of Hong Kong her name is Metropolis and serve as a cruise ship and floating hotel/casino...
