It looks like it's seen a lot of time in service already.
Great photos, VP! Does make me wonder what they needed the extra length for.
It looks huge out of water.
I have never heard about elongating a ship before VP.. I wonder why?
I did not imagine that ships could be cut in two parts...
That just sounds and looks incredible!
Hmmm. I'm not sure I would want to sail on a ship that had been elongated like that. I'd be afraid, very afraid!
This is so interesting VP.
That is astounding! I'd never think you could cut a ship in half and make it longer! As some other commenters have suggested, would that not weaken the structure so a very strong storm could tear the ship apart at the middle?
Must be a pretty valuable vessel to go to all that trouble.
Interesting. Does more boat = more research power?
Would be fun to see them putting it back together again.
Great series. So many details!
