Talk:SS Imperator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Imperator was male
Against marine tradition, the ship was considered male in German (maybe since the word Imperator in the German language is an explicitly male noun, the female version would be Imperatorin). In better researched German text about this vessel you will always read der Imperator. But I don't know if this should be carried over to English. - Alureiter 20:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Top heavy"
I don't think it's right to classify the Imperator as "top heavy" - implying the ship was heaviest towards the top, because if this were the case the ship would capsize. Rather, it had a higher center of gravity than normal, which caused the uncomfortable sea handling. Dpaanlka 05:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
