Nice video but the Joseph Thompson was not a T2/T3 she was a C4, the Cliffs Victory was a Victory Class, and the Paul H. Townsend was a C1. I worked for Oglebay Norton but never got on the Middletown but I have been on the Joesph Thompson.

They all have square pilot houses because when they were originally tankers, the pilot house was in the middle of the ship and all they did is just move the pilot house forward and change the style just a little.
