Harmony of the Seas
The £783m vessel is 361m (1,187ft) long and can carry 6,780 passengers.
It features 20 restaurants, 23 swimming pools and took more than two-and-a-half years to construct.
The 70m (230ft) high cruise ship had its first trial in March when it was guided out to sea from the port of Saint-Nazaire.

"But marine pollution analysts in Germany and Brussels said that such a large ship would burn at least 150 tonnes of fuel a day, and emit more sulphur than several million cars, more NO2 gas than all the traffic passing through a medium-sized town and more particulate emissions than thousands of London buses."

It looks like the worst kind of high rise flats that went up over Britain in the 60's and 70's fecking horrible. Pack em in take their money and let them think that they are having a good time. Yuck no thank you, I'd rather eat my own ear wax, and we know how nasty that tastes don't we kids.

#10 Yeah, but who ended up purchasing and holding the slaves? You're right: America (and then some)...no need to try and put the blame on someone else

#11 There was plenty of blame to go around back in those days, all the way back to the African chiefs and warlords who sold or traded the captive slaves to the aforementioned slave merchants coming to Africa's west coast and the Muslims who took slaves from North and East Africa by the millions.
95% of the slaves who were transported during the transatlantic slave days went to countries in South America like Brazil which was a Portuguese colony that depended on slave labor. That is why they speak Portuguese instead of Spanish in Brazil. Hundreds of thousands of them also went to the French, Dutch, British and Spanish slave colony plantations on islands in the Caribbean.
