Hi :) Sadly if you want to go from Buckingham Palace to Marble Arch you can't choose to go by ocean liner, at least not until after doing massive engineering works or using enough explosives to blow a decently large hole in the centre of London. If you want to go deep-sea diving then a horse and cart are unlikely to get you down far enough and then up again. A hammer is not an effective nail and a nail is fairly useless as a hammer (except for fairly tiny objects) Regards from Tom :)
