Satin's Sin is correct about the old ships and the reasons that most are no longer in service. Another reason is SOLAS, or Safety Of Life At Sea and all the regulations that go with it. The costs associated with bringing these older ships up to code is sometimes more than they are worth so they are scrapped.
