Adriatic woes...

Here is the photobucket drawing: credits to CanisD for posting.

Actually, shouldn't the credit should go to Duncan Haws? Aren't these his drawings from Merchant Fleets?

Oh, my bad. I was looking at the previous post when I put down the name. I guess I should reword this: credit goes to Duncan Haws.

I'll try not to do that again.

Hey, Mark, you should check out the calculations I did for Germanic above. They're quite interesting -- leave me some comments.

I did, but that kind of stuff is not my domain. I'm an historian, not an engineer.

New Ships

Hey guys,

I have completed a rough design outline for two new ships based on the Big Four. I have named them Tectonic and Jurassic. They are of 28,000 grt with a higher service speed of 20 1/2 knots compared to Baltic's 23,876 grt and 16 knots. Not as big as RMS Germanic (1916) of 33,600 tons and 19 knots, but still big ships.

What the ships would look like: essentially enlarged Baltics.

Specs:

Tonnage: 28,000 grt (est.)
Length Overall: 740 feet
Length between Perpendiculars: 715 feet
Beam: 82 feet
Depth: 56 feet
Draft: 30 ft normal, 31.94 ft maximum
Displacement: 33,070 tons normal load, 35,581 tons maximum
Engines: geared steam turbines
Propulsion: twin screw
Speed: 20 1/2 knots; 22 knots max.
Passengers: say 1200
Crew: unknown

Hope u guys like these ships as much as I do -- I intend to build these for real. Not a passing whim...
