The independence of the Seas takes the idea " the big is the best to extreme ".
Great Western, SS Great Britain, Conte Di Savoia, SS Normandie, Queen Mary,
Independence of the Seas.
Let us travel back to the old time.
" Great Western " was the biggest wooden ship ever built.
If this ship just made of the wooden that is not enough to withstand the wave.
Bolt the lattice of the iron girder inside of the wooden ship to strengthen the structure.
This form of the rigid skeleton that stiffs the hull.
Workers use the crane to put massive sections together like the colossal 3D jigsaw puzzle, and then use the hydraulic jack to align them precisely. Workers weld them together creating the rigid honeycomb structure. This way would make the structure strong enough to withstand the biggest wave in the storm.
SS Great Britain knows the " Paddle Wheel " having the problem. The wave would force the ship to roll to one side.
This leaves one wheel spinning useless out of water wasting a lot of the engine power. To solve this problem, we need to understand the ancient Greece.
Archimedes' screw.
Helical screw all the way around the column. This device can move the water, so basically it's the pump.
It pulls out the oil.
Turn it to horizontal level.
The left ship used the propeller, the right used the paddle wheel.
