MattR 2659 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Those posters are great! Taking a ship to a world jamboree would be a great adventure all by itself. Thanks for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites

SSScout 1608 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Oh, that is wonderful. 26 mile hiking around the deck of his ship. The SS Leviathan, was it ? Google is your friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Leviathan 950 ft long, 100 feet beam. Say, a rectangle 8oofeet long by 80 feet wide, equals 1760 feet into 26 miles.....
