About this book
Rock climbing walls, swimming pools, mini-golf courses, and ice-skating rinks are now standard features on modern passenger ships. Passenger Ships follows the engineers, designers, and visionaries who turn these ambitious ideas into reality, showing how competition fuels constant innovation in ship design. The book explores the technical and logistical challenges that arise when builders try to squeeze ever-more attractions onto a single vessel, and it explains how creative problem-solving leads to breakthrough engineering. By weaving together stories of real projects and clear explanations of shipbuilding processes, the text gives middle-grade readers a clear picture of how today's floating cities come to life.
