I can remember this being suggested many years ago as it was thought to be unsinkable, then some one remembered the Gulf Stream.

WWII project to fool the Germans with an overgrown aircraft carrier. The idea was spawned by an English chappie called Geoffrey Nathaniel Pyke, who invented "pycrete" (Pyke / concrete) a mixture of ice and sawdust that was extremely strong and very slow to melt (rumour has it that Winston Churchill was very impressed with a chunk of it that he experimentally took into his bath tub with him.)
