Mayflower Autonomous Ship

1

The Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS) is a highly innovative project to design, build and sail the world's first full-sized, fully autonomous unmanned ship across the Atlantic Ocean.

The sailing of this ground-breaking new ship in 2021 will reflect the voyage undertaken 400 years ago when the original Mayflower left Plymouth to journey to America.

At over 100ft in length the Mayflower Autonomous Research will be powered by state-of-the-art wind and solar technology. The revolutionary trimaran vessel will carry on board a variety of drones through which it will conduct experiments during its voyage.

It was officially launched at a naming ceremony in Plymouth on 16 September 2020, 400 years after the original Mayflower left the maritime city to cross the Atlantic.

Bravo! :clap:
Winning on so many levels.
I also wonder which bright 6-grader came up with the name for this ship. Would be great if the kid was Black or Native American and loved reading sci-fi.
