    It was BEAUTIFUL! Not like those floating hotels of today. It's hard to even call them ships. More like powered barges with a hotel on top.
    I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.

    I was always amused at the fact that she could go faster IN REVERSE, than the TITANIC could go forward!

    A powerful ship she was in her day, I hope she will have a new life as a floating hotel soon.
