La Fiama ... getting all confuseded again by Tomas Drouty » Sun Sep 23, 2007 7:03 pm
My answer would have to be the deck.
The front and back of the ship would travel the same distance providing it did indeed travel back to the exact same position.
However as most ships curve inwards below the surface the deck is normally longer than the bottom ... therefore the deck would make a bigger circle as it travelled. The deck would travel further than the bottom
