Title: Re: guess what i saw

pier 54 and 59 are on the New York side of the harbor, and are down the highway(or i think it's a highway ::) ) and is a few piers down from the world yacht pier.
Title: Re: guess what i saw
Post by: Mad_Fred on April 30, 2008, 09:04:20
Think about this...

If the Titanic had not sunk, she would have never been as famous and loved as she is now.. She would just have been another ship in that "golden age of luxury ocean liners" (Which I don't even agree with, as the modern ships are much better, safer and luxurious.)

And thus, that pier would just have been another pier, where one of the luxury liners had docked, one of many luxury liners that roamed the seas in that era. And not even the best of them either. Just a mediocre ship, badly sailed and badly equipped for safety.

So had she actually docked there, it would have been "just another docking" and nothing to be famous about as a pier. No big deal.  ;D

Regards,
Fred

The question about Titanic that still roams in my head:

If they didn't mention the mear fact of "unsinkability" of the Titanic.. would that iceberg have jumped in the way then?

Ps.. hey Fred.. when's that Unicycle-deal coming through.. i'm willing to take shots with my digicam sir!  ;D
     Bit OT.. but i've visited NY in 2000 (yes.. towers still standing) and i never even thought of searching.

That was a magazine reveiw calling her "practically unsinkable", as neither White Star, nor Harland and Wolff ever made that claim.

It's got the new pocket-size warp engine.. top notch hyper-modern stuff..  It's small size does mean that it can't do much more than warp 5.3, but here in Holland, that still means I can get anywhere within 0.00002341 seconds.  :P

Thanks. It's work, so I travel business class. That's the only way the Clients get me to travel.

After a couple of days in Athens, I'll be going down to Limassol, Cyprus. Weather should be good with a bit of luck. More work, but they have 2-hour lunch breaks. So I'll be sat by the pool at lunch time having a cold lager!
