   The amidships styling 'hump' is very reminiscent of the "Great Eastern" paddlewheel going back a century and a half.
   Now, that's retro.

   An old paddlewheel river steamer was my first impression too when I looked at the pics this morning.
   
   However, as great as it would be to see someone sign a contract to have this built... I'll put my neck out and say it'll never happen. Unfortunately.
