Isis is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt.
In more recent time, the name has acquired some less savoury meanings, but it's not that uncommon to see it used. There is an Isis recovery service for example.
The ship I photographed in 2014 was built in 1978. It's a cargo ship capable of carrying 674 tons and based in the Isle of Man.
Very much my kind of interesting working boat. At 172 feet long, 69cm in 4mm scale, it would be a sizable model, but that's ships for you. They are a lot bigger than you think.
The name might be a problem for some, so perhaps you prefer her original one, David Dorman. Or Deer Sound (until 1994) or current one, Corneligud (since 2019).

Very similar to the Scalescene product https://scalescenes.com/product/t030c-modern-cargo-ship/
I recently had some 1/48 drawings for a clyde paddle steamer rescaled to 1/72. It was still massive just not quite so massive!
