Creator's Key Takeaways
The ocean has not changed since the days of the first seafarers. It remains the same, ruthless, unpredictable, and destructive force capable of generating waves the size of multi-story buildings.
Classic liners were built on the same principle. Their heaviest elements, giant steam turbines, boilers, fuel, and freshwater reserves were located deep below the water line.
Modern cruise ships are masterpieces of entertainment architecture.
The ocean cannot be outsmarted. Its blow must be taken and survived.
