- Retric 7y agoIf you watch a boat in rough seas they need to be far stronger than a building across a much wider range of stresses. So, it probably starts close to being able to stand up like this just by default. Ex: https://rare.us/rare-news/caught-on-video/new-footage-shows-giant-waves-crashing-into-a-cruise-ship-while-a-passenger-is-looking-out-the-window/ https://rare.us/rare-news/caught-on-video/new-footage-shows-... PS: Less seriously, the cruise liner has lifeboats making it it a boatboat. (https://xkcd.com/2043/ https://xkcd.com/2043/) Making this a boatboatboat for when you want to ship the ship shipping your boats in a boat via ship on a ship shipping. This lets you boat around on your boat on a boat on a boat.
