Creator's Key Takeaways
Liners are consistently subjected to heavy seas, especially during rough winter crossings.
Freeboard is the distance between the ship's exposed deck edge amidships and the waterline.
The Queen Mary 2, for instance, has a high freeboard, yet her exposed deck and boat deck appear to be placed amidships.
Cruise ships, on the other hand, generally have a lower freeboard and their boat deck is quite often situated lower within the hull.
