Sometimes people think out to the absolutely brilliant and at the same crazy ideas. Who would have thought that, if desired, the ship can be done even in reinforced concrete. In fact, the first attempts in this area have been made in the XIX century, at the time, as the peak of the construction of such vessels has fallen already in the twentieth century.
Tell me now a man that the ship can be built of reinforced concrete, it is, at best, look at you as a person with a very visionary and recommend to write fantasy at your leisure. In fact, the wrong is the one who doubt the reality of the existence of such vehicles. Ships of concrete and really tried to do some time quite successfully. Surprisingly, the floating means from said material does not sink like a stone thrown into water.

Ship made of reinforced concrete not only does not sink, it can still climb aboard many tons of payload, and a large number of passengers. The operation of such ships is still the same Archimedes: On a body immersed in a fluid, the ejector acts or lifting force equal to the weight of the fluid volume displaced by the body part immersed in a liquid. In other words, the ship afloat kept due to the large volume that occupies predominantly air.
But to return directly to the courts of reinforced concrete. The first swimming facilities of this kind appeared in 1849 thanks to the French engineer Lambo. Already in 1855 he showed his creation to the exhibition, where it created a furor. As a result, there was a fashion for the construction of ships of concrete. True it is already extinct in a few years.
For reinforced concrete vessels have returned people are only at the beginning of the XX century, when the industry felt an acute shortage of metal. The use of concrete in the design reduces metal consumption by 2-3 times. At the time in the world in 1919 it created more than 1 thousand concrete courts. They were made around the world from the US to China and the UK. During World War II, the US has built 24 such ships. In post-war Germany - 50. Do not lag behind in the USSR, where the peak of "the concrete shipbuilding" took place in the 1946-1948 years.

I would like to see even more curious swimming facilities? Then here, there is a "Five" and the rare luxury yachts, which are prepared specially for the whole year show in Dubai in front of the richest people on the planet.
