Ship Photo of the Day

The excellent movie “The Sand Pebbles” starring the “King of Cool” (and former Marine) Steve McQueen revolved around a gunboat on China’s rivers in the 1920’s. The replica was a diesel powered, steel hulled 150 ft ship seaworthy enough to travel from Hong Kong to Taiwan and back.

Soon to launch from a shipyard in Finland will be the 3rd Icon class cruise ship Legend of the Seas. At 1,197 feet long and a beam of 213 feet, the ship displaces just over 250,000 tons - 5 times the tonnage of the Titanic. With over 5,000 passengers, the ship has a crew of nearly 2,500. Interestingly, the ship will burn LNG.

Every time I see one of these mega-ships I first wonder when it will tip over. After that, I wonder what it would look like in a submarine periscope and what a juicy target it would make.
