Hybrid Yacht - Newyork Hornblower



Hybrid Yacht - Newyork Hornblower, This yacht can run on Hydrogen,solar,wind and diesel power, beside that this vehicle was also known as a hybrid ferry. it seems that Hybrid vehicles and eco friendly vehicles are gradually going from uncommon to common on our roads. However, world’s fist hydrogen powered yacht is to take to the water off New York anytime next year. Launched in 2008, the San Francisco Hornblower Hybrid was a new paradigm in Eco travel. The hybrid ferry was launched to run on a combination of solar, wind and diesel power; however, the new 1400hp New York Hornblower adds another source to the mix of energy source to compliment the trio, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell that turns hydrogen into electricity.

World’s Largest Shipyard Grave at Nouadhibou

The city of Nouadhibou is the second largest city in Mauritania and serves as the country's commercial center. The port of Nouadhibou is the final resting place of over 300 ships which were abandoned by their owners. These ships rusting in the shallow waters has given the port of Nouadhibou the notorious name of being the world’s largest ship graveyard. Unlike the en masse arrival of ships at Mallows Bay, here the number of craft has built up over time, as corrupt officials accepted bribes from boat owners to allow them to dump their vessels in the area.
