I like to read about old ships from long ago, especially before 1900. (I know I need to get a life ) But it amazes me that they could build these huge ships before the technology of today. Anyway I was reading the latest Smithsonian and saw an article on the Great Eastern. So after a little research I came across the following web site which has some great information on old tankers and ships back then.

Here is the link to the great eastern, check out the first picture on the left, that is a cool picture.
