Concrete Ships

This is what Vic was saying about the concrete ships being used as a breakwater at POWEL RIVER Attachment 36991Attachment 36992Attachment 36993

At what point does a steel ship with much corrosion and repaired with many cement boxes become a "concrete ship"

Ken,
Thankyou for your question,but the vessels in question are made of concrete in the first place.

#32 or indeed a porcupine ship could be described to use as a description especially in Drydock when all the wooden Stubs were visible sticking out of the shell plating , which preceded the cement box put around this stopper. JS .

Hi Bob,
Nice to hear from an old hand from my time in Sydney with the Vindi mob. Hope you are keeping well. as long as you don't sail on one of those concrete boats, nice picture..

I spent almost 25 years in the fibre-glass building of yachts from 22 to 57 feet and as I recall there were amateurs building cement sailboats in their backyards but they never gained a foothold in the industry.
