Frase de un personaje de la película Titanic (1997):
I work my way from place to place, you know, tramp steamers and such, but I won my ticket on Titanic here in a lucky hand of poker, a very lucky hand.

Como bien indican los compañeros, hay otras formas de designar a este tipo de barcos: "barco mercante", "buque de carga", "vapor vagabundo", etc., pero creo que la brevedad de "carguero" es lo que mejor encaja en el diálogo de la película.
