You'd have a lot more tonnage, but they're hard to steer.

They've already done that calculation too. 70 meters.

I guess that's why they don't use outboard motors to move the bergs outta the shipping lanes, huh?

Back in the late 60s or early 70s I read where someone had proposed towing an iceberg from Antarctica for the water needs of Los Angeles, they figured it would take a team of tugs several years to get there. they gave up on it.
