		All of the ships in the three classes of line-of-battle ships derive their heritage from the so-called “Great Ships” which, in turn, were direct descendants of the galleon.
		From these beginnings, the idea of the great ship began to develop until 1608, when Phineas Pett began the first of the classic great ships, the Prince Royal for James I. This ship was the basic model for all the later warships to sail in the line of battle.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Star Trek The Next Generation: Ship of the Line
		Ship of the Line is a good, though slightly flawed, novel that is worth reading.
		The answer to that lies in a three-fold plot line that involves Captain Morgan Bateman (the character portrayed by Kelsey Grammar in a cameo role), Montgomery Scott, a holodeck image of James Kirk, and Gul Madred, Picard's Cardassian torturer.
		While Carey does an excellent job of plausibly tying the three plot lines together at the end of the book, the resolution for one of the minor characters is trite and smacks of a need for an artificial happy ending.

	Sealetter Cruise Ship Review: Cunard Line Queen Elizabeth 2
		One line is for the observation deck at the base of the feet, with a wait of about an hour; the other is for the crown, with a much longer line of up to 3+ hours, and once you're in the spiral stairs, there is no way to exit.
		Though the ship was 85% full, we never encountered crowds or queues, except in the Lido, which is the reason we only used it twice.
		It is all but impossible to get a photograph yourself of the ship -- she is so big and you only see her at dockside [for crossings], with gangways and buildings in the way, so do get the postcards sold onboard.
