The middle of the earth?

0 degrees latitude, 0 degrees longitude.
Today we crossed the point where the Prime Meridian and the Equator meet. The captain announced to go to the "starboard side" (right side) of the ship and then blew the horn as we passsed that point. We were told we would feel a "bump" or see a sign, but to our demise, there was no such thing. Just ocean! We thought, with all of the world knowing this is the center of the globe geographically, isn't there at least a bouy?

Here it is!
