	Lake Superior Shipwrecks : Onoko
		It was the largest vessel on the Great Lakes until steel hull freighters were introduced 10 years later.
		Bulk freighters made possible the cheap transport of raw materials for the steel industry, including iron ore, coal and limestone.
		Because of its economic success, the Onoko was the prototype for all modern bulk freighters.

		The Bulk Freighter is all and nothing more than what the name states.
		One advantage of this type of transport is that despite its significant size, the Bulk Freighter has the ability to land.
		A significant flaw in the Bulk Freighter is the fact that it has no armament to speak of which makes it an easy target for pirates and the like.

		The 767 Freighter is similar in external appearance to 767 passenger airplanes, except for the lack of passenger windows and doors.
		The 767 Freighter is well-suited to directly accommodate transfer of pallets and containers commonly used in existing widebody freighters, such as the 747-200, 747-400 and DC-10, as well as those from single-aisle freighters, including the 757-200.
		The 767 Freighter is equipped with powered cargo-handling equipment, both on the main deck and in lower holds.

	Action IV Bulk FreighterCraft
		Using bulk freighters for smuggling is a bit more challenging than using light freighters, but there are inherent advantages and disadvantages to any illegal activity, big or small.
		The bottom line is that bulk freighters have much cleaner reputations than tramp freighters among customs personnel, and that can save you a lot of hassle at the starport.
		Since a bulk freighter's cargo hold is quite a bit more voluminous than your average light freighter, it's easier for you to hide contraband.

		It's possible, with a lot of cash, to turn a captured Bulk Freighter, into a respectable fighting machine; you simply have to change your approach.

		A light freighter (or heaven forbid, one of the heavy freighters if you get lucky) or two argosies in your fleet will bring pirate ships out of the woodwork, and rapiers are fine ships to have in your fleet.
