The Age of Sail (15th-19th centuries) has long past but we still enjoy seeing beautiful sailboats moving on the water by modern day yachtsmen and women. Such elegance and poise as they cleave through the waves!
However, in a move away from fossil fuels to help curb the rate of climate change, not to mention a reduction in operating costs, sailing cargo ships are making a comeback! We now have advanced engineering skills and many technological advances to make this possible and efficient. The first wind assisted cargo ship, the Canopée, launched in 2022.
