What a top heavy scow. She will never take heavy seas.

The engineering involved in this project is beyond belief. I’m sure it is bigger than the possible waves/wind she should see.

It’s still no place I’d want to be in a hurricane. But then, what ship or boat would you want to be o for a hurricane?

A nuclear sub, perhaps.

Interesting that you should say that.

A large sailing vessel built by the Swedes in the 18th century capsized in harbor shortly after being built. Too top heavy.

That's the first thought I had when I first saw it, to much weight on the top end, what are they going to do if they get hit by a tidal wave ?
They said it's 5 times the size of the Titanic, is that by weight ? how long it is ? or how many decks it has ?
