In response to the idea about a Traveller Newspaper and the kinds of ads
that you would put in, I suggest you check the Journal of Commerce for
examples of ship listings. My father used this when he would look for
ships to carry cargos. I haven't looked at it in a long time, but I
remember the listings were heavily abbreviated (like auto ads for instance).
Good luck, and why not post the results of your first effort to the list?!
