I dunno..never been rich enough to get on one..;) I guess (and this is a guess), that 30-50' would be about right..once again, I'm just eyeballin' it..;) you can see some lifeboats in Pic on post #2, as you can see, there are more of them, and they're shorter than on your original model, which is how I'd look at the sense of scale. Don't know if there's a standard for lifeboat size, but working off that pic, maybe from the lampposts, or even if you can see a human being on the deck (I think I can, but my eyesight isn't what it used to be..;). There's got to be something about lifeboats on the Web somewhere..(just ignore all the URL's for the Hitchcock movie..;) good luck.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
