On today's special Blue Peter, marking 100 years of the sinking of | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
Titanic, we explore the biggest Titanic attraction in the world. | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:55. | ||
find out how rescues happen at sea today. And I experienced ocean- | :00:55. | :01:05. | |

Hello! For today's show, we've come to Northern Ireland to the brand | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
spanking new attraction, Titanic Belfast. You can see it behind me. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
It's huge and looks like the front of a ship, which is no coincidence | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
because it was built to be the same height as the Titanic itself. It | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
must have been quite a sight. 100 years ago, the most famous ship in | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
history was built on this slipway. It took 3,000 workers almost three | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
years to finish it. But none of them could have imagined that their | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
creation would soon be lying at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Everything about Titanic was big. It was the height of luxury and was | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
as long as the Empire State Building is tall. Imagine how | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
excited the passengers must have been as they boarded this brand new | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
ocean liner for its very first voyage from Southampton to New York. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
But imagine the horror when, on the night of 14th April 1912, five days | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
into her journey, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in just two-and-a- | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
half hours. Titanic was thought virtually unsinkable so there were | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
only lifeboats for one third of the ship's passengers. Of the 2,225 | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
:02:29. | :02:34. | ||
people aboard, just 713 survived. Titanic Belfast tells the story of | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
the ship beginning with its construction. It's incredible to | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
think that something the size of Titanic was built pretty much by | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
hand. Men risked their lives daily working in the hull under tons of | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
metal or high above the ground in the gantry. Many of the workers | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
were teenage boys working in rivet squads. Three million rivets like | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
this one held the ship together. It was the job of the boys to get the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
rivets from the furnace to the rivet squad while they were still | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
hot enough to hammer in. Off you go. The heater boy would race with the | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
boiling hot rivet to where it was needed. Once there, he'd throw it | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
to the catch boy who would place the rivet in the hole ready to be | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
hammered. Thank you. Today, children aren't expected to build | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
ships, but here at Titanic Belfast, there's a ride that can give you a | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
sense of the conditions that the shipyard workers faced daily. The | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
shipyard ride lasts six minutes and carries visitors from deep within | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
the bowels of the half built Titanic to the day it was finally | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
launched. I saw how dangerous it was to be working to build the | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Titanic. It was actually quite shocking. On show are | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
reconstructions of the furnaces, the rivet crews at work and the | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
giant rudder itself. It is a great job, but I wouldn't like to do what. | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
If somebody asked me to do what, I would say no. Plenty of children | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
sailed on her as passengers. Of the 112 children on board when the ship | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
hit the iceberg, sadly half of them died. One of the lucky survivors | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
was Eva Hart. This is her story, in her own words. I was with my | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
parents. My father was going to open a business in Winnipeg. People | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
were saying to me how fortunate we were to get on the Titanic. I was | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
excited because I was going on a wonderful big ship and I had no | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
fear or apprehension or anything. She was very beautiful, luxurious | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
beyond words. It was the first time I had been on board a ship. Captain | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
Smith was on deck and he was very nice. He had a beard like my own | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
grandfather and he admired the doll that I had. On the third night, I | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
was sound asleep. My mother woke me and said, I am going to dress you. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Before she could, my father came back and said, you had better put | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
this thick coat on. That is all he said. Standing on deck, my father | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
came back and said, the ship has struck an iceberg. My father had no | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
difficulty in putting me and my mother in the lifeboat, but he made | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
no attempt to get in it himself. When we were in the water, we could | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
hear people rushing about on Dec. That is when the panic must have | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
started, when they found there were no more life but slept. I was | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
terrified. I didn't know what to shipwreck could mean and how long | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
it would take, but I was too terrified to for my father. Before | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
she sank, she was a very beautiful ship, stationary on the ocean with | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
all her lights on. It was dreadfully cold, but the sea was | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
the, so I had seen. The stars were the brightest I had seen. I look | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
back and I see that ship break-in half. The front part went down and | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
let the stern sitting up in horrifying fashion. It was enormous | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
and seemed to stick up in the air for a long time until it gradually | :06:17. | :06:26. | |
went down, turning over. After that, there was the sound of the disaster | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
and that was people drowning. That is something you can never forget. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Then the dreadful silence that followed it. It seemed as if the | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
whole world was standing still. It was discovered my life but was | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
overcrowded and the officer in charge decided he would get rid of | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
his load by putting people in other boats. I got separated from my | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
mother. I didn't find her until the next day. The next morning, the | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
icebergs were like white sails in the distance. White yachts with the | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
sum on them. They were very beautiful. They were all around us. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
The crew of the ship that rescued us were very kind and good to us. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
We were given clothes because I had only got a blanket around me with | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
my night clubs. I had nightmares until I was 23. Although why would | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
like to say I am not frightened of the sea, I had never been in | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
anything that is touching the Titanic and its beauty. She was | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
:07:43. | :07:44. | ||
lovely. Accidents at sea are much more survivable. We have got radar, | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
satellite communications and an international team saved lives | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
every year. I spent some time with the Navy to find out what happens | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
when things go wrong. A casualty is in distress. A whole team put their | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
lives on the line. 24 hours ago, I'd never been on a rescue mission. | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
:08:20. | :08:25. | ||
Culdrose Air Station. Cornwall. The home of 771 Naval Air Squadron, one | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
of the top search and rescue teams in the world. The squadron has been | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
rescuing people around the South West coast for over 50 years. Last | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
year, they answered 200 emergency callouts every year. If anyone can | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
get you out of trouble, these guys can. Over the next two days, this | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
squad will be putting me through my paces to train me up for an air sea | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
rescue training exercise. My mission will take place on this | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
metal monster, the MK5 Sea King Helicopter. Seven tons of steel | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
topped off with an 18 metre rotor span. This beast has been laughing | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
in the face of the worst the weather can throw at it since 1969. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Lieutenant Commander Rob Suckling has over 15 years experience on the | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
Sea Kings. But as I get my first look inside, I'm baffled as to how | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
anyone can make head or tail of the cockpit. There are no modern | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
digital displays, just these analogue dials. There is no way you | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
can look at everything. Sitting here for real, flying, what do I | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
need to look at? That is the actual indicator. When it is foggy, it | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
tells you where it is up and what is down, and it keeps us a. | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
have to put a lot of fed into this equipment. You will have to train | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
for about to make years before you can fly. By then, it is not | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
intimidating. -- for about two years. With only 12 hours before my | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
rescue mission, learning to fly is clearly out of the question. But | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
there's an equally important job at the back of the helicopter. For | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
tomorrow's exercise, I've been given the responsibility of using | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
the most vital piece of equipment on board, the winch. You can't land | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
a helicopter on the sea, so the only way to get somebody into the | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
back is to winch them up. This thin piece of rope is all that there is | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
to lift a person to safety. This lifeline is made by twisting | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
hundreds of very thin pieces of steel together. For my big mission, | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
I'll be the winchman, so this cable will lower me from the moving | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
:10:45. | :10:45. | ||
helicopter down to a boat at sea. How strong is this? It is pretty | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
thin. It is stressed at this �600, three people. So I will be OK? | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
You'll be OK. When you're dangling from the side of a seven-ton | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
helicopter, verbal communication is tricky so learning the correct hand | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
signals is vital for safety. That is lower the winch. That one is | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
stop the winch. And then raised the winch. If we need to call a | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
stretcher in, make this. To be clear and definite, lower, stop, | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
raised, a stretcher. Can we practise here? No, we have to go to | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
the air. Straight in at the deep end. Good. Why wouldn't we? So, a | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
few minutes later, and ten metres up in the air, I prepare for my | :11:35. | :11:45. | |
first ever winch. I do not think it is going to snap. Oh, my word! | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
That's it. Going down might look simple, but I need to keep as | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
straight and controlled as possible. In less than 24 hours, I'll be | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
doing this over a moving target on the sea. I need to stay controlled. | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
And land on my feet. Three Arts... Two yards... I lower myself too far | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
and lose balance. If I lose concentration like that on my | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
mission tomorrow, I could hit the boat. I don't want to become the | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
person who needs rescuing. I knew I was getting closer to the ground, | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
but I thought I do not know when I.. At least it was a soft landing. | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Getting to the boat will only be the start of my mission. I'll have | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
to make first contact with the casualty, get a stretcher on and | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
:12:44. | :12:44. | ||
off, and then get myself back up. That was a speedy take-off! Raised | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
the wink. Come on to the aircraft. -- raised the winch. Can I have | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
another go? Going down. Going down. Try as I might, I just can't seem | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
to master that landing. I am concentrating. I have got to be | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:25. | ||
careful. Down, down. I will stand up. I stood up! I stayed on my | :13:25. | :13:34. | |
feet! Tomorrow, this is... I am going to have to land on a moving | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
target. As we saw today, I am not that good at landing. I only nailed | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
at once or twice. It is going to be harder and more dangerous tomorrow. | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
:13:56. | :13:56. | ||
I have to concentrate and keep my Day two of my training. Mission day. | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
First up is the briefing with the search and rescue team. As you can | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
see, it is showery. Even though this is a training mission, I can | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
feel the nerves building in my stomach as Rob talks me through my | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
part in the sea rescue. I will put you on to the boat. I will give you | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
:14:27. | :14:28. | ||
some hand singles. Any questions? Than the call comes in. Hello? OK, | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
a wet job. OK, on board the lifeboat. A life but has picked up | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
a surfer in distress. He needs to gets to hospital fast. An airlift | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
is needed. The lifeboat is out in the bay 10 miles from the base. It | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
would take an hour to get there by car and boat, but the helicopter, | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
travelling at 129 miles an hour, it takes five minutes. We need to look | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
for the lifeboat. In the day, it is easy, because it is bright orange, | :15:03. | :15:12. | |
but imagine doing this at night. Oh, my word. Is that them? That is it. | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
We are going over 100 miles an hour and I have got to land on that? I | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
felt more confident yesterday. Now, I'm like, wow. This is it. Me and | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
the wink. That why is looking even thinner. My stomach is doing | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
:15:44. | :15:47. | ||
Islay manage to land properly once in training and this is 10 times | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
worse. -- I only managed. The boat is rocking side to side. This is | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
absolutely nuts. And then it happens. The landing I had been | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
dreading. I misjudged the movement of the boat and had a really hard. | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
As I got to the boat, my legs were underneath the railings, and I got | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
confused. Eventually, I was looking at the sea. There is no time to | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
celebrate getting on the boat in one piece. I'm here to work. Winch | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
men are also trained paramedics so my first job is to assess the state | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
of the casualty. In this case, he is a training dummy affectionately | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
known as Dead Fred. There is still hope for Fred. I signal for a | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
stretcher. The guys from the RNLI set up a link between the | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
:16:58. | :17:06. | ||
helicopter and the lifeboat to The helicopter retreats to a safe | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
distance while we secure the casualty in the stretcher. We are | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
ready for you. The casualty is ready. I guide to the helicopter | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:34. | ||
back in and we set up another guide Once the stretcher and the casualty | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
are back in the helicopter, all we have to do is get the rescue were | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
:17:48. | :18:07. | ||
I did not expect to be upside down, hanging off the back of a boat. I | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
was nervous going down. It is so different, it is when the noisier. | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
It feels noisier, which makes it more intimidating. Yes, sea rescue | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
can be scary, but whatever the well there, the seeking crew will be out | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
there, doing what they do best, saving lives. -- whatever the | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
weather. You do not need us look way to | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
build a ship and it does not need to be quite as ambitious. But you | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
do not need talented Shipbuilders, which we have got from Moat Primary | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
School. This is amazing. How long did it take to build? Three months. | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
You must be pretty patient. There is a lot of detail on here. I love | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
that everything you have used has been recycled. Talk me through it. | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
That is bottle tops, and then some straws and wire. And what about | :19:05. | :19:15. | |
:19:15. | :19:15. | ||
this side? Chocolate boxes. Do you get to meet the chocolate? No! | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
If you look at the DEC, the decking, you have got lots of matchsticks | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
stuck together. That must have taken ages. We used glue to stick | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
it down, but whenever you stick it down, the glue is on her fingers | :19:34. | :19:43. | |
and he lifted up. How did you make the form? -- a form. I went out to | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
the fields near my farm, and I got some wall from the sheep. Please | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
don't go pinching well from sheep. If we were building a ship, or the | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
people at home are building a ship, what should they do? Plenty of | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
matchsticks. Lots of cardboard. don't forget the chocolate. Share | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
the chocolate, Barney! Lots of people know the story of Titanic | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
from the 1997 film, which has just had a 3D makeover. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
When Titanic was first released 15 years ago, it was the most | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
expensive movie ever made. It cost $200 million to make. Many thought | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
it would be a flop, but instead it will call box office records and | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
won 11 Oscars. Kate Winslet has a theory why. The ship was not meant | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
to sink. It was providing opportunity for change and new life | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
for so many people. It is a terrible, terrible tragedy. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
writer James Cameron is so obsessed with Titanic that he has visited | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
the wreck 33 times. The expedition was up a heart of it. It set a | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
standard for accuracy, and for truth. Even the actors had to stand | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
up to that, and become those people. Titanic sank so deeply it was lost | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
for 75 years. Since the discovery of the wreckage, scientists have | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
explored every nook and cranny of the rusting ship under the Atlantic. | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
The fact that a ship seemed to be at the height of glamour and could | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
be so easily reduced to a wreck is one of the reasons why the story is | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
so gripping. This first class cabin would have cost �870. That is | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
�60,000 in today's money, so this really would have been the best you | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
could get. Fast forward 100 years, and there is new cutting-edge | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
:21:59. | :22:02. | ||
trends in today's luxury boats. We Welcome to Florida, visited by over | :22:02. | :22:06. | |

next few days, it will be buzzing with some of the world's biggest | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
and richest boating enthusiasts as they descend on the International | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
Boat Show at Palm Beach. That is where I am heading right | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
now, to find the most luxurious boat of them all. The Boat Show is | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
a maritime marketplace, overflowing with over �200 million worth of the | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
latest boats, ranging from small, speedy inflatables to fishing boats | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
for, right through to the luxurious yachts. Hundreds of millions of | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
pounds splashed out on these ultimate toys. I want to find deep | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
most super boat here today. This place is so big and there are so | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
many boats here it is hard to know where to start. I do know that I | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
have to look for the longest boats because they are usually the most | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
expensive. That's nice, but small. That one is nice and shiny. Getting | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
bigger, getting bigger. This is good. Hang on, what kind of boat | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
would fit in a tent? It turns out that this is the trait tent, where | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
you can buy all your report accessories. Fishing rods, | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
satellite navigation systems. As I have become sidetracked on my hunt | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
to find the biggest boat, I might as well do some souvenir shopping. | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
I imagine that Helen has always wanted to be the captain of the | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
ship and every captain needs a hat. I would like to make a hat for a | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
friend of mine called Helen. While Helen's hat get stitched, I get | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
distracted by my love of gadgets. - - gets stitched. Satellite phones, | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
GPS, rucksacks, but no ordinary rucksack, a solar-powered rucksack. | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
This thing will charge up anything you want. All you have to do is | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
leave it in the sun and plug it in overnight. This is my kind of store. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
Here you go, there is your hat. think she will like that. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
That is the shopping done. Now to continue on my quest to find the | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
most super yacht. Address some of these people were to go. Where are | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
the big boats? Over there! That way, you can't miss it. Golly gee, you | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
should go down this way. My market research has led me to the marina | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
on the edge of the show. All of the yacht apart here as they need extra | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
space to be displayed in all their magnificence. -- yacht's are parked | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
here. Magnificent. Isn't she a beauty? But facie the most | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
luxurious today? It is cool, but I reckon we could find one bigger. | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
We're getting there, but I want bigger. Wow. Now that is a super | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
yacht. This is the diamonds are forever. At 61 metres in length, | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
she is the biggest and most expensive yacht on display. In fact, | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
she is the biggest ever seen at this boat show. I'm going on board | :25:39. | :25:49. | |
:25:49. | :25:49. | ||
to meet the man in charge. Peter. Barney, welcome on board. That you | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
for having me aboard. It is luxurious. I guess it is the most | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
expensive in the show. How much? �40 million. 40 million. OK. If I | :26:02. | :26:11. | |
wanted to take the boat out? �250,000 a week. �250,000 a week... | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
Should I have a look around first and then if I like it, I'll make a | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
decision? Feel free. �250,000... The diamonds are forever yacht is | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
named after the James Bond film of the same name as her owner is a | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
massive fan of the movies. What strikes you, almost immediately, or | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
on a yacht like this, is the size of it. Normally your house will | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
have two levels, downstairs and upstairs. This has set index, and | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
each one is as beautiful and lavish as the next. This boat has more | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
rooms than most houses, including six extravagant bedrooms. The best | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
of a lot is the master suite. This is the front of the yacht, and this | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
has all round windows. No matter where your, you have the best view | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
of where up to you wake up. Imagine waking up every morning in a | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
different part of the world. Here, you can. All the other bedrooms are | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
pretty special with plasma screens that appear from the ceiling... I | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
want one. As well as an en suite bathroom complete with petal filled | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
baths, but maybe that is just for decoration. You have a nice table | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
to eat ice-cream and jelly and then when you feel like it, you have | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
your own pool. This hi-tech room, the bridge, is where the captain | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
control the -- controls the movement of the boat. He also has | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
some serious power to play with, as I found out when I reached the | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
bottom deck. This is the engine room. I'm staying here. I love it. | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
Not only is it polished aluminium but each one of these engines uses | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
nearly 2000 horsepower. Combined, the engines are 30 times more | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
powerful than your average family car. But the engine is not just to | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
make the diamonds are forever move at sea but to power the leisure | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
facilities. It has a gym, a son a, a steam room, a beauty salon and | :28:10. | :28:16. | |
one of my favourite ways to relax, and electric baby grand piano. -- a | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
son. If all those luxuries are not | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
enough, head down to the garage and he will find a couple of toys. Jet- | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
skis, or maybe radio-controlled model boats or go scuba-diving, or | :28:30. | :28:37. | |
why not just go for a trip on your own private boat. It has everything. | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
It is safe to say that my quest is complete. I can't imagine that any | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
of the other yachts could stop this. Are you going to charterer it? -- | :28:48. | :28:58. | |
:28:58. | :29:00. | ||
could stop. No. It is not big Coming up next week, internet music | :29:00. | :29:06. |
