Although I agree that the execution of this project would be very difficult, and would probably end up being very expensive, it is doable without harming the environment.

I would personally leave the ship where it is. I agree with the project, nevertheless I perfectly understand it is far from being realistic. I also like the approach.

But indeed, too much risk for the environment and the risk for yet another cruise ship to bump into it. I agree with Vincent, although I like the approach.

Jeez, invite a bit of whimsy into your life. It’s only a bloody concept; the company’s not actually going to give up an entire cruise ship just to humour two architectural graduates.

Corrosion, algae, accumulation of floating plastics, maintenance of the garden, keeping illegal adventurous divers away, theft of metals and so on. Maintaining a memorial of this size costs a lot. Please get that thing out of the water and use the steel for something memorable or something like that. I’m in fear of this idea turning into a big pile of rubbish and pollution.
