  • Big boat

  • @doughesson Er.. I found that I *could* see the wheelhouse windows.. However I take your point..

  • holy shit

    

  • @chibichan1701, it doesn't look like they're using thrusters. The ship is moving too fast, there's no wash on the port side of the bow and the way the ship is turning suggests that it's using rudder only.

  • @SkyyCaptainn, true. Can you have simpler hull lines than that?

  • Ships works like a man and everyone calls it she.

  • @chibichan1701 You mean the one RMS Titanic sucked under and spit out of her wheelwash when getting underay the first time with passngers aboard?Not an auspicious way to start to do that with paying customers watching.

  • @doughesson Sure they were, just back then it was: "where's that bloody tugboat?!"

  • This view shows why it is exceedingly STOOPID to cross the bow of a large vessel.If you cannot see the wheelhouse windows,they cannot see YOU.Even if you can see the windows,sometimes you are too small to be seen from them. Let's be careful out there.

  • @chibichan1701 In the real world,bow thrusters weren't even a concept in 1912.
