Grandsons to cross Atlantic in 24 hours on mile long steamers
A New York naval architect forecasts a century of rapid growth in ocean liners. He says in 200 years ships will be nearly a mile long, carry 800,000 passengers across the Atlantic in 30 hours, and require 12,000,000 horsepower. By 2008 freight could reach 15 million tons with ships 440 feet wide and 540 feet high. This follows the centennial rise from Fulton’s 130 foot boat to today’s 810 foot record. Broadway remains the same despite such talk.
