  I am wondering if the hulls in set 315 (container ship) and 1650 (Maersk
Ship) are the same?  Its hard to tell from the pictures.  Does anyone know
the dimensions of either hull?  What did these ships use for ballast?
Thanks

Hulls are not the same, but built using same pieces. Look at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0315-1976/0315-04.jpg

These old boat hulls consist of three different pieces (bow, mid and aft
sections). Maersk ship looks longer than the container ship, so it should
have more mid sections. The ballast they use is also visible in same
direction sheet at the above address.

(...) The biggest difference is that the container ship had a different "mid" section with a pit or hollow in it, I didn't see that on the Maersk ship. Ciao! (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
