Unfortunately I can only provide estimated dimensions based on the scale model Bazin built.

I estimated her length to be 294 feet (89 meters) and her width to be 75 feet (22 meters).

To complete the series of roller ships, I present the transatlantic liner designed by Ernest Bazin shortly before his death. After the failure of the SS Ernest Bazin due to flaws in the roller design that caused water to adhere to the rollers, creating a braking effect, Bazin began working on improv...

The drawing is an artist's impression and has scaling flaws. However I found a photo of Bazin's model in a PDF, so I'll be using the drawing only as a secondary source.

I'm still looking for photos or plans of the SS Atlantus so I can draw her. She was partially stripped (having her rudder...

Excellent work! The colours on the Crete class are amazing, you've nailed that wet concrete look! I have a technical question, not knowing much about these ships, how are these ships constructed?
