Wow, it's amazing how this thread curves and bends in all kind of unexpected
directions. The intellect, and interests, of this group of people is fantastic.
I apologize for decreasing the average IQ....
To Sven, it might be nice to place your steamboat next to Titanic, and compare
the size. I use one feet per POV-unit, but that shouldn't be a problem. How long
is your paddle steamer? Titanic was 882' 9", which is in our modern world 296
meter.
Building a ship in those days was not for the faint-hearted. Hard, dangerous,
extremely noisy work. When you see the photo's of Belfast's Harland & Wolff, and
see the small planks the had to walk on, and then hammer the rivets,
unbelievable that they managed it.
I want to finish the stern (thanks Stephen) and bow. There are still some loose
threads on the superstructure, the bridge needs some equipment, and then move
slowly down to the keel.
Cheers everybody
Ton.

Okay. So, if you want to have the files of my still unfinished riverboat
(it later will become Public Domain), then let me have your e-mail
address. Remember not to write your e-mail address in a too straight
way, as there are countless spammer bots that try to capture e-mail
addresses.

Both explanations are valid imo. It shows the complexity of interactions
between human society (including religion and politics), natural
resources, climate, etc. As it happens, I am currently re-reading Landes
at the moment.

Once again I see some similarities in our interests and attitudes....

Yes, it seems so. We are not alone. There is still some hope for the
planet... ;-)

Hallo Sven,
my username is tonkiwi, and the domain is the gmail community.
Might be a nice picture to have those two completely different ships together.
Cheers
Ton.

Here is a first try with Sven's Mississippi steamer, and my steamship Titanic.
Both models aren't finished yet, a Work In Progress you might say, but here they
are.
The scale is the same, Sven's model is 1m/1unit, mine is 1'/1unit, so I scaled
the riverboat by 100/30.48 (12 inch, 1 foot, I am getting clever with the
imperial system!).
Cheers
Ton

Are you sure the scale is right? The riverboat seems rather oversized to
me, given how humongously large the Titanic allegedly was.

Is that one foot per Pov unit?

Everything is bigger than life. In those Southern States. ;)
I reckon that the largest of the riverboats would be about a third the
length of the Titanic.
Titanic: 882'
Mississippi steamboat: 300'

Yes, clipka, according to Sven as well, in the pov-file, that steamer is over
100 meters long. Titanic was close to 300 meters, so those Mississippi paddle
steamers were really big.
I'll render a second image, with Titanic in the front, and the steamer behind
it. I think this composition gives an advantage to the steamer.
Cheers
Ton.
