sailing
Statement from the Crew of the Avontuur, on arrival in Hamburg after six months at sea.
A reflection on being at sea during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The coronavirus means that my research on a sailing cargo ship is lasting a lot longer than I bargained for.
We are doing well. We are all safe, sound, and healthy aboard the Avontuur.
I will soon join the schooner Avontuur in her mission to reduce carbon emissions from cargo transport to zero.
Carbon emissions from international air travel show no sign of abating. In the absence of a tax on jet fuel, are sail boats the best way to travel the world sustainably?
The book OKEANOS illustrates, documents, and discusses several projects that focus on shipping by Allan Sekula (1951–2013), an American documentary photographer and theorist.
Sailing ships have been around for thousands of years – long before the advent of fossil fuels. With the global shipping sector now attempting to cut its greenhouse gas emissions, could sails be due a renaissance?
