And a ship like this was just too slow to keep up, which means that it's a real snapshot into kind of what was the technology of that exact four or five years of time, because it was all the brand new stuff and then it was never updated. So it's really interesting. I think you'd like it a lot just because it's before we had computers and before we even really had calculators that weren't slide rules and mechanical. So it's all mechanical systems, basically

Although I was actually in a hallway that's called Broadway because it was the high traffic hallway that connected you to all of the engine rooms

I might have this on loop for the rest of the day. I really enjoyed it. Oh, I definitely think as well. It's like what you said. It's like when you used to have the real film
