Need a bigger boat? Why not just lengthen it?

This cruise ship, the Norwegian Crown, is first tugged into a shipping yard in Hamburg, Germany.

It's then cut in half, and a new 30-metre section is inserted in between.

After this, all it needs is a paint job and a new name, and the vessel is ready for the high seas once again.
