SS Nomadic Hull Shape

Yes, Mike,

You are right there. She looks a little bit like a barge, with that broad hull shape. This tender is probably very steady in the water, even if loaded to the maximum with hundreds of passengers on every standing space.

Although, I doubt very much that we will ever see that again. She will probably remain in the Hamilton dry dock in Belfast. She is not equipped with the twin steam engines anymore, and the new funnel which was installed last fall is just a dummy, I believe:



If you like, take a virtual tour of her two decks and you can appreciate how wide she really is inside:
Virtual Virtual Visit - S.S Nomadic - Belfast, Northern Ireland

All the best,
Bengt

PS. In the lower deck of the virtual tour, you can see a small model in a glass cabinet, and one of the prints that I just got the other day.
