@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.
@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.
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.

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

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