I am researching info about freighters in the 1930s for a children's book I hope to write. I need pictures or descriptions of the decks and interior spaces - engine room, captain's bridge, wheel house, sleeping quarters of crew & passengers, dining areas, etc. The ship my character sailed on in 1936 was The Black Tern of the the Black Diamond Lines from the US to Belgium. Anything?
