Oasis of the Seas

Since the dawn of time, people have always been trying to break through and develop the latest technology. We try to build things bigger and better. In 1912, the R.M.S. Titanic was constructed by the White Star Line. It was the largest ship of its time, hence the name. The luxury far surpassed any other boat in that age. Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, but its luxury and size will always be remembered. Now, Royal Carribean Cruise Lines have made a new ship, which surpasses the Titanic's size by a large amount. Oasis of te Seas is 1,180 feet long and weighs 100,000 pounds. Oasis of the Seas stands 20 stories high and is as long as four football fields. Such features include a rockwall, a zipline, several shows and a unique surfing pool. With such a gargantuan structure, it is remarkable that the cruise can stay afloat. Well, as we went over in class,the density of air is less than the density of the water, hence forth the ship stays afloat. To maintain stability, the hull was built extra wide to displace the water. The Oasis of the Seas is truly a remarkable breakthrough of the 21st century. I wuld love to gain passage on this marvelous boat and lets hope that unlike Titanic, Oasis of the Seas has a long, sucessful career.
