They're hulls for self propelled barges. These "barges" are common on the large inland rivers in Europe... especially in the Netherlands.

fair enough
never seen them before but intresting

Not just The Netherlands, those river barges can sail all the way to Constanza near the Black Sea!

My grandfather had a smaller river barge and I don't think there is a canal or river on the European mainland where he didn't sailed

Heck, we even have them on my planet too!

danny · « **Reply #24403 on:** April 30, 2013, 15:41:26 »

What fred said is true - they do exist on his planet as well, although how they manage to float on the rivers of chocolate I'll never know.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #24404 on:** April 30, 2013, 16:21:05 »

Well, Chocolate is more dense then water, so for a cubic metre of water will be able to float a 1.025kg boat where a cubic meter of Chocolate can support a 1325kg boat - so Freds boats can be a bit heavier...

Trust a marine architect to poke holes in my already flawed logic

Also, the boats themselves, on my planet at least, are made from bacon.

And of course, as we all know, bacon is unsinkable anyway.

hansgutana · « **Reply #24407 on:** May 01, 2013, 13:33:28 »

yeah... but then it is soft unless you overcook it, and it will become more smelly (although it doesn't smell bad) than a regular, metal ship.

unique design though...

The Ferry King · « **Reply #24408 on:** May 01, 2013, 18:10:36 »

why we talking about food?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #24409 on:** May 01, 2013, 19:29:42 »

well it IS the cookie box...

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #24410 on:** May 01, 2013, 20:44:55 »

Or why not cave a boat out of cookies for th chocolate sea

Rbsanford · « **Reply #24411 on:** May 01, 2013, 22:05:00 »

That's not a good idea, the cookies will eventually dissolve.

But at least it's not as bad as my plan, a ship made completely out of cesium!

Meanwhile, trigonometry is fun!

but when it gets to port - the crew can eat it

also cheap way to ship cookies

The launching of that ship would be the worlds shortest ever voyage. It would also create one of the worlds largest holes!

Rbsanford · « **Reply #24414 on:** May 02, 2013, 02:30:14 »

It would have to be built in a warehouse of course, because a single drop of rain would destroy everything.

hansgutana · « **Reply #24415 on:** May 02, 2013, 03:21:50 »

Well, my boats are made from 459,648 Lbs of Fuel. Problem is, i need to build a cold warehouse because if it gets exposed to over 30 Degrees Celcius, it will explode or ignite on fire.

Might want to have a look at those figures Mr. naval architect! :p

The contrary for me: I cool my ship off with liquid hydrogen! Only thing colder is absolute zero.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #24418 on:** May 03, 2013, 05:24:51 »

Wouldn't solid hydrogen be even colder than liquid hydrogen?

Wow its hot today!

Rbsanford · « **Reply #24423 on:** May 03, 2013, 22:04:51 »

It's off and on snow/drizzle today, but at least the lake was able to dissipate the snow storm in the midwest right now.
