I had never heard of these. Fairly neat idea to combat the expected steel shortage. http://cocatrez.net/Water/FerrisShips/FerrisShips.html
So why is it tht every time someone posts plans, that I: 1) MUST go collect them to the hard drive? and 2) Think instantly of building that ship for fun?
Huh, much like the cement ships of WW1. There is a wreck of one in Santa Cruz, when I was a kid living in the bay area you used to be able to walk on it out to the bridge area.. now it's totally closed off as it's crumbling pretty bad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto_(tanker) http://www.concreteships.org/ships/ww1/paloalto/ If anyone has the plans for something like this.. it would be a pretty sweet build for fun!
