Thanks Leigh,
and what I meant to say was the ship was NOT built in two sections as such, but the entire superstructure section - fitted out - was waiting to be lifted on to the hull.

Rick

I thought that's what was going on. Amazing that they can construct the accomodation separately and then have a crane lift it up and set it on the ship--children's block style. Entire sections are done this way. None of it would happen without welding.

Cheers,
Leigh
