The autonomous ship Mayflower (MAS) flew 5.6 thousand kilometers from Plymouth, England, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. According to the plan, the ship was supposed to go to the United States, to Massachusetts, but there were technical problems with the flight to the Mayflower and the route was rebuilt.
The ship is powered by artificial intelligence developed by IBM and powered by solar panels. On board – video cameras and scientific equipment (for taking water samples, recording temperature, salinity, sounds, etc.).
The ship repeats its voyage across the Atlantic aboard the three-masted wooden ship the Mayflower, on which the colonists sailed to the continent 400 years ago. The transition in 1620 took more than two months.
The modern Mayflower departed the UK on April 29, 2022, and the trip to the United States was expected to take about three weeks. You can track the ship in real time on a special site.
