<p>You are so right about the baffling design of contemporary ships – or should I say floating apartment buildings?! When did they stop using naval architects to draw up plans? Now it is just make them bigger, irrespective of proportion and balance. </p>
<p>I feel so fortunate to have sailed on ships of an earlier era, where it was quality over quantity. I refer to the SS Constitution, SS Santa Paula, SS Santa Rosa, SS Independence and the SS United States. </p>
<p>There must be some ships today that don’t look like glorified container ships – such eyesores!</p>
