, a new kind of ship is poised to make the same 3,200-mile voyage — but this time there won’t be a single human on board.
The Mayflower Autonomous Ship will set sail from Plymouth, England, on Sept. 6, 2020, and is expected to make landfall in Plymouth, Massachusetts, about 12 days later.
Now under construction in a shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, the sleek trimaran will be 53 feet long and will havecovering its three aluminum hulls. Solar energy will be stored in onboard batteries, and will power the vessel's electric motors and propellers. The ship's top speed is expected to be about 20 knots . Though Jones and his colleagues are hoping to not need it, the vessel will be equipped with a biodiesel backup generator for emergency situations.
