Magrodome

A magrodome is a sliding glass roof found aboard passenger ships. Typically positioned over a swimming pool, it can be opened and closed automatically depending on the weather.

History
The first magrodome was fitted on the SS Oceanic (1965), 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, 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.
