Icetanic is a replica of the Titanic made entirely from ice. This would naturally only be the main hull, and of extra large proportions to sustain the gradual melting which would take place over the duration of a few trans-Atlantic journeys.
Every few voyages, Icetanic would simply be popped back
into the giant mould kept in Harland and Wolff shipyard to be refortified with a few thousand tons of additional ice. (Max industries will supply the reactors to drive this part of the operation - see link)

We strongly advise that, for the safety and peace of mind of all concerned, [MB]'s responsibility is limited purely to the critical task of re-arranging deck chairs. |

Pah. I have never designed a ship that sunk. |
|
| |
That's because all but one so far fell to bits on the slipway before it was launched. You probably can't be held responsible for the one that caught fire, apart from the obvious fact that metallic sodium is generally recognized as a poor choice for the manufacture of anti-corrosion hull anodes. |

He's only making the ice and will be closely watched. |
|
| |
Don't just watch him - make sure you count the spoons as well before you let him leave. And watch out for that "pet" monkey of his, too; it looks cute, but it's trained to steal credit cards. |

//that "pet" monkey of his// That is no way to refer
to the Intercalary. |
|

"Evil little simian-featured kleptomaniac goblin" ? |
|
| |
Come, come gentlemen! The intercalary does have
redeeming qualities....like, err umm, umm...don't rush
me..weird, I had my credit card a moment ago.. |
|
| |
BTW how about freezing various mammoths and other item
of provender in the ice...watch as small child sticks tongue
onto frozen mammoth..etc |
|
| |
If it were a cruise ship, would the mammoths take their cabin trunks ? |

|
| |
It didn't rust now, did it? |
|
| |
Speaking of using Sodium as an anti-corrosion anode, does
it produce electric current when reacting with water?
Yeah it might be hard to measure with the explosion and
all, but it just occurred to me that you might be able to
get a large surge of current from an explosive reaction. |
