Magrodome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Short description A magrodome is a sliding glass roof found aboard passenger ships.[1] Typically positioned over a swimming pool, it can be opened and closed automatically depending on the weather .[2]

History

The first magrodome[<span title="Script error: No such module "decodeEncode".">clarification needed] was fitted on the Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:WPSHIPS utilities/data' not found., launched in 1963 over its Lido deck pool.

Magrodomes have since been included in a number of modern cruise ships. Some traditional liners, such as Cunard's former flagship Queen Elizabeth 2,[3] had a magrodome retrofitted; one was placed over its existing quarterdeck pool in 1985 during a 1985 refurbishment in Bremerhaven. It was removed in a subsequent refit.

Other notable vessels
