Scans, Soundings, Survey & Sailcargo

摘要

Timeless maritime arts and craftwork mixed with modern technologies--including high-precision surveying--are helping reintroduce wind power to seaborne trade. It was a chance meeting that changed two lives. It may also change the way the world thinks about maritime shipping. An accomplished sailor, Danielle Doggett loves tall ships--the large wind-powered sailing vessels that carry passengers and cargo. Her fascination with the big ships started in her teens, sailing on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes and eventually on the St. Lawrence II, a 72-foot two-mast brigantine built in the 1950s for youth sail training. "I have been taken by great sailing ships ever since," Doggett says. "The idea of shipping cargo, emissions free, as a viable business really inspired me."
