The Freedom Ship! Floating City of DREAMS!

Thursday, October 2, 2008


Get a load of this floating gem. Its called the Freedom Ship! Oh boy! The company building this (which is probally a bunch of stoners) has been "working" on this project since they went public in 1999. Even before that. Probally since 1970's, when they took their first hit of acid.

What is the Freedom Ship exactly?

"Envision an ideal place to live or run a business, a friendly, safe and secure community with large areas of open space and extensive entertainment and recreational facilities. Finally, picture this community continually moving around the world. You are beginning to understand the Freedom Ship concept of a massive ocean-going vessel. With a design length of 4,500 feet, a width of 750 feet, and a height of 350 feet, Freedom Ship would be more than 4 times longer than the Queen Mary. The design concepts include a mobile modern city featuring luxurious living, an extensive duty-free international shopping mall, and a full 1.7 million square foot floor set aside for various companies to showcase their products. "
Yea I think back in the 70's when the started this, that acid got to their heads.

Supposidly the primary objective is to create a new floating country..not a huge ship.

This just looks like the biggest stoner project ever created. So far they have made NO action at even building the damn thing. Yea it takes time. But jesus, who the fuck is going to fund this, move there and live there.
The ship is supposed to be in route around the world 70% of the year. 30% its stationary. Thats stupid. When they say you live on this ship...you really live on this bitch. What if you wanted to go visit your relatives or something on land. In the normal countries. This idea is cool, but stupid.

They're already selling rooms and space for your shop. You can get the C-1 15ft by 30ft shopping mall spot for your porn magazine shop for only $220,000! and $600 maintenence each month! What a deal!

Is this a cool idea? I admit it, yes it is very cool. Likely? You know what, I think it IS likely. Just not on this scale. A lot of things would be different. Until then, these guys should stop taking nightly hits of acid, and generating 3D models of the Freedom Ship in C4D while fucked up.

Here are some more acid induced pictures:
