europe - australia by ship

Actually I lament the passing of the airship, although there are a few designs in the offing however they are designed for cargo rather than passengers. like this although these guys have gone bust Lockheed have nicked their ideas for the P-791 A solar powered airship would take about 3-4 days to do UK- Australia travelling nearly 200 km/h non stop.

Interestingly the east bound blue riband is actually held by an Australian built ship CatLink V with an average speed of 41 knots details the previous two holders were also Incat built catamarans. more details

I think we should all go and plant a few trees to offset the emissions created just by reading this post :)
