A very good effort, and nicely done.
I would like to know if the drawing represents the sip as built, or as she is now, a museum ship at Bremerhaven. If you drew her as she appears now, it would be only fitting to use the current German ensign.
I would also recommend doing some more shading on the underwater part of the hull. As it is now it looks a little flat. The masts should be three pixels wide, and not alternating two and three as you have it now. It does exaggerate the masts a bit, but it's a small price to pay for a more aesthetic look (which also conforms with the Shipbucket rules).
All in all it is a very nice drawing a the ship.

She's drawn as built in 1938. Hull shading wasn't possible as there aren't any pictures to be found that show her hull shape. The masts taper towards the top and have been drawn the same way they are drawn on liners.
