I love old liners also. But...there is a balance between size and...romance, if you now what I mean. The bigger a ship is, the less you feel like you're on a sailing vessel. It becomes more of an island, where you just do not perceive the moving.
It;s like...my old car. Yes, it has hes noises, it smells like gasoline...and so on. But you feel like driving something.... Same as boats...the deck plates have to vibrate, and the smell of diesel must be strong when you struggle at maximum speed....
It's the main reason why I love classic subs more than the modern nuclear ones.
And I love old things in general...
