Beschrijving
The Great Ship. This miscellaneous type comprises various tales dealing with an enormous ship [X1061.1]. The following are the most common variants:
A ship is so long that it takes a train three days to go from the bow to the stern. It is too long to turn about, and carries six million crew. When it was turned about in the Baltic Sea, its jib swept all the sheep into the water. In order for the ship to pass through the Kattegat Strait, its sides had to be rubbed with soap. A young cabin boy who climbs up the mast comes down as a gray-haired old man. The coxswain gives his orders from horseback (airplane or helicopter). The cook rides in the pot in a motorboat to stir the porridge. Cf. Type 1960F.
