The last of the roller ships I have found and plan on drawing is the Bazin roller liner.

A better metric would be the height of the upper deck. That said, go for it!

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.

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 improving the design of the rollers. A year later, after a series of model tests, he announced that he had solved the problems that plagued his first roller ship and would soon be constructing an eight wheeled ocean liner capable of crossing the Atlantic in sixty hours. Sadly he died several weeks later and the Bazin Liner was never built.

Do you have any statistics on the ship?

Weight, dimensions, passenger capabilities etc?

The drawing is very good and I have followed this thread with great interest.

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).

Very nice!

Very nice work, an odd design indeed!

A very odd design indeed, but an excellent drawing. Well done Nigel
