I dont understand how they could build such huge ships over 100 years ago?

Rhythmic constructioning to a merry tune like in a black and white cartoon and they'd have it built in no time.

Manpower. Back then the teams of planners were bigger than the teams of builders are today.

The engineering knowledge and materials science was there. Why wouldn't they have been able to build them?

slaves

They already had iron and steel, user.

But of course that ship is a turd when compared with a modern superfreighter or cruise liner. Much less efficient engines and all that.

Just rivet more metal together than usual.
It isn't even that big compared to modern ships. Just very long.

That's what happens when you let white men do whatever they please.

Magic. Never played any steampunk-esque games? They had magic.

Ships werent shit
They built skyscrapers.

>Why wouldn't they have been able to build them?
This. I mean, by then they already had hundreds of years worth of ship-building wisdom, and enough engineering knowledge to know how to scale that up. Plus as () pointed out, the materials to build it were readily available

they build them outside of the water, and can essentially take as long as they want to construct the ship.

why would it be any different than building any other huge construction project?

Just reading this article on the titanic under deck design, the ship looks like it wouldn't even be suited to carry passengers today.

titanic was only rated for about 5,700 tons of ballast displacable cargo.
it wasn't a cargo ship but still, pretty puny for a large vessel

my great-grandad had a slave

Just because they arent blacks in chains or jews doesn't make them slaves.

probably in a big shipyard

to save dozens..

A lot more luxurious too

Economic inequality and dirty cheap white labor.

Building large things is easier than small things

You solved it, congratulations good sir

wow tough question
NOT
How did they build the Parthenon or pyramids or any megalith or megastructure 2000+ years ago. There are any number of things from the ancient world which would stretch modern engineering and economic resources to duplicate

Less regulations means they didn’t have to go through so much bullshit to get things done.

Take a car today and strip it of all of its ridiculous safety features, dump manufacturing waste in the ocean and you could buy one new every month.

Big ship. It would take all day just to swab the poop.

This. This shit pisses me off. We could have 70mpg vehicles or BETTER if the government would have just fucked off with all the safety features.

Driving a fast, light car is its own safety feature. You don't want to crash the mother fucker. Instead, you have a bunch of people in these heavy SUV tanks they feel invincible in, and are wasting fuel everywhere they go.

> safety is not important
gtfo nigger

So manufacturing hasn't changed all in the past 50 years; it's all the exact same thing.
Our tools are just more precise and the average worker has 1/3 the skill
