For those of you that collect Maersk Lego models, there is one model that was
never sold as a set, but only as a model in the early 1960's Lego Building Idea
Book #1, also known as #238.

Here is the model on a page from #238.  There are other ships as well on this
page of the 36 page booklet. Here on Eric Strand's excellent website is a copy
of a Dutch language version of #238:

This model was built with regular blue bricks, since Maersk Blue didn't come out
for a few decades.  And the ships name was made of 1x1 white alphabet bricks.
Stickers didn't come out for at least another decade.

I noticed what I think might be a "U" boat on that page.  Say aren't "U" boats a
wartime model?

---snip--- (...) Gary that sure is a "u" boat! But you can't have a fleet of merchant ships without a "u" boat to go hunting them. That is like having cowboys with NO indians or bread without butter! ;) -Ahui (20 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Incidentally, I used those two ships in one of my earliest Lego renderings: (URL) Anders Isaksson, Sweden BlockCAD: (2 URLs) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)
