I had not been in Ypres for nearly twenty years, and when I was last there the work of restoring the historic buildings of the city was not started. It is among the largest public squares in Europe, and one of the very few into which you could put a medium-sized Atlantic liner. A 15,000-ton affair, such as even the Arabic, could be arranged diagonally in the Grande Place at Ypres.
His position was such, both then and thereafter, that I was sure that he knew and told me the truth. Later I learned that the "Audacious" was too far off the Irish coast to permit of talk of shallow water, and that neither guns nor 30,000-ton warships are raised from fifty-fathom depths.
There seemed no limit to what these mighty vessels could carry. We agreed that the great 50,000-ton Imperator alone brought at least fifteen thousand men with all that they needed.
A vessel of 10,000 tons was a "leviathan" in the days when the German law was passed, and it appears to have undergone no change to meet the conditions, imposed by the construction of vessels twice or three times 10,000 tons, like the Hamburg-American Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, or the North German Lloyd George Washington, to say nothing of the 50,000-ton Imperator, which is to be added to the Hamburg fleet next year.
