🚒 Why do ships have red & green lights? 🌊

🟒 Green = Starboard (right)
πŸ”΄ Red = Port (left)

They show a ship’s direction and help avoid collisions β€” like traffic lights at sea βš“βœ¨

πŸ’­ Why do we say port & starboard instead of left & right?

I said LEFT LEFT not right!

According to COLREGs, ships should pass port-to-port (left to left).

If they pass right (starboard to starboard), it’s either agreed on radio πŸ“‘ or… a mistake πŸ‘€

βš“οΈ Stay sharp at sea – one wrong move can be costly.

This futuristic prototype shows what cruise ships might look like in 2100. 🌱⚑

βœ… Floating cities at sea
βœ… Green energy powered
βœ… Onboard forests & eco parks 🌳
βœ… A self-sustaining world for passengers

The future of cruising might look more like a floating planet than a ship. πŸš€

Before (1912)

🚨 Titanic, 1912 β„οΈβš“

In 1912, Titanic had:
No satellite communication πŸ“‘
Not enough lifeboats 🚀
Delayed rescue response ⏳
Outcome: Over 1,500 lives lost πŸ’”

---
Today

🚨 Titanic, if it happened today 🌍🚒

Modern ships have:
Advanced radar & iceberg tracking πŸ›°οΈ
GPS & instant distress signals πŸ“‘
Enough lifeboats for all passengers βœ…
Global rescue coordination 🌍
A disaster on the same scale is almost impossible today.

The Titanic tragedy changed maritime law forever.
βœ… SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) was created in 1914.
βœ… Mandatory lifeboats, drills, 24/7 radio watch.
βœ… Today, every passenger ship follows those rules.

Titanic may be gone, but it saved millions of lives in the years after. πŸŒŠπŸ’™

Why do ships open side doors? πŸšͺ🌊‡️

---
Those side doors you see on ships aren’t random β€” they’re called shell doors or side ports. βš“

πŸ“Œ Why they’re used:

For loading & unloading stores, cargo, and provisions πŸš’πŸ“¦

To let crew and passengers embark/disembark at ports without gangways

For pilot boarding in some situations

On cruise ships: for tender boats and emergency access

They look unusual, but they’re a vital part of ship operations. 🌊
