There is one point that the narrator, in sheer ignorance, just glossed over, ever in a hurry to condemn the seaworthy vessels as death traps.
Concrete weights in around three times heavier and spare change than steel. That incurs significant costs, as in propulsion, as in everything else, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
They also lacked the flexibility of a steel hull. So, if there was a collision or grounding, the concrete vessel would fare poorer than the steel vessel and well, even the steel vessel's gonna go through hell.
Still, I'd happily own one for recreation. I'd just have to watch out for the shallow rocks in the river nearby.
