"Abandon hope all ye who board her"?

Also it looks like that photo's been altered, looks like about a third of the ship isn't there...

Compared to expectations, this hull does look short forward of front stacks, more than perspective foreshortening. Our picture obscures bow with a bridge under construction. Pictures (Wikipedia) of entire length show forward section is not far ahead of the stacks either, but substantially longer overall.

Looks like a double swing bridge, not one under construction. The other half is seen along the right side of the photo.
