How much would it draw? Weird guestions come to me @ nite Well, let's just say that it'd be one hell of a row to get ashore from where I'd havta anchor 'er!

My wife crossed to England on one of the Queens when she was a teenager. Waves came over the bow and smashed some superstructure. The passengers were a mess. That was rare though and I think the big passenger ships do mostly cruises now rather than winter Trans Atlantic passages at high speed. They can alter speed and course pretty much as they wish and choose kinder weather itineraries anyway. I am not counting anything the Fram might be up to.

Occasionally visiting a city for food, art, architecture, history, local culture and people watching that's what i like too...and cruisin' is a great way to do all that in many different places during one trip...and economically

Anyway, it's fuel consumption pales in comparison to other wretched excess and madness issues. I hope it turns out to be an asset to humanity instead of a liability....

With a burgeoning city aboard, wouldn't the ship have some kind of stabilizer system that would pop when necessary?
