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.

mmmm, love the smell of kerosine - it means that I can go fly. Also, big differences in jet fuel grades, too.

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.

A modern cruise ship is anything but a ship. It's a floating fat hotel. It's oversized for economy of operations - pack as many people into as small of space as possible without flipping over. I'm always amazed at how they don't capsize when forced to withstand any type of waves.
 
so intricate aft panel of the vasa - very fancy - sweedish warship.
built it as a national prize -
took her out on her maiden voyage, big crowd watching - she promply rolled over and sank.
 
you did have much more information.
I think also what led to the demise, was they had the gun ports open - ya gotta stick your dicks out ya know :)
with a crowd.
but I think the water washed in and quickly sealed it's fate.
but it was bound to happen anyway.
 
the slipway where the titanic was built.
actually two identical ships were built at the same time, the other being the olympic.
it's hard to make out, but the outlines of the ships on the concrete out there, you can see where all the stuff was located - stacks, bridge etc.
I think the incline is where the bow was. really not that big esp when comparing theme to the stuff today. leisurely walked it in a few mins.

It wasn't balanced properly and was top heavy for such a shallow beam. It should have been much wider than what it was to support such a massive weight.

  • The former USS Kitty Hawk arrived at a scrapyard in Brownsville, Texas, this week.
  • The ship served nearly 50 years and is the last conventionally powered carrier to be decommissioned.
  • The Navy reached a deal last year to have a shipbreaking company dismantle it for a penny.

From record-setter to rubbish: World’s biggest cruise ship to be scrapped without sailing a single voyage​

https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/ar...pc=U531&cvid=a17369eb53d74aa5ae34af354764633a

An unnamed cruise vessel of nearly record proportions that has been under construction in Germany for an Asia-focused cruise line will be scrapped before sailing a single voyage, according to German shipping magazine anBord.

This week anBord reported that the liquidators for the bankrupt MV Werften shipyard in Warnemunde, Germany, will sell the bulk of the half-finished ship for scrap and attempt to resell some of its systems and engines.
