Witness the construction process of AIDA Cruises' new flagship in Nagasaki: AIDAprima, which was recently christened on the Elbe on Saturday the 7th of May 2016, during the Hamburg Hafengeburtstag (harbour birthday) festival.

I thought it was fascinating.  :smile:

Thanks for posting that.  Fascinating.

I wonder if they will have the same problem that Disney has with illegal immigrant "food services" and "cleaning" workers who don't wash their hands spreading Norovirus throughout the ship making them floating disease vectors.  :scared:

Great video. Thanks for posting it. It looked like a LEGOS ship in it's initial phases.

That is really cool!  I had never seen anything like that before.

Most modern ships are built in components (often at separate sites), then assembled at the actual drydock. It's been in use now for building the last few Navy aircraft carriers and smaller ships.
