I like Ships too

Titanic size comparison against a modern cruise ship
The Titanic was a liner, designed to cross the North Atlantic in all seasons without modern weather forecasting.

A modern Cruise ship is just a floating hotel that would be in trouble in heavy seas. They are not all-weather ships, or even a ship at all - just a floating barge that has to avoid many sea conditions.

Looks like the Princeton's in need of some fresh paint.
 
I worked with an oil refinery, my company interfaced with them.

anyway, I don't know how much it costs - but boy does that fuel smell awful.

I had to go work a spill that the railroad company caused, ripped out some standards.

the fuel they use, or did use at that time, was very primordial stuff. in the distillation process, that fuel oil was the first to come out.

they use it because it has the most energy/gallon etc.

the next stuff out of the process was diesel fuel. well, diesel number 1 which is kerosine, for airplanes. then diesel number 2, for trucks.
