Looks nice- but dose it run on 317,000 gallons of diesel per year or low grade cheep fuel ( lots of soot = to a thousand cars an hour ? ) Bad for us unless u like walmart and toys with lead paint !

And please don't say the skipper of the shrimp boat!

That's DRTY, of course. The dude has a serious infatuation with pirates and he shouts "ahoy" all the time. It's pretty disturbing to watch, actually.

Royal Caribbean has a cruise ship that's almost that size. It's about 190 feet shoter, and 23 feet narrower.
