Freedom Ship
Freedom Ship is a floating city project initially proposed in the late 1990s.〔(Robert Trigaux, "Water World", sfgate.com, from ''St. Petersburg Times'', 5 July 1999. )〕 It was so named because of the "free" international lifestyle facilitated by a mobile ocean colony, though the project would not be a conventional ship, but rather a series of linked barges.
The Freedom Ship project envisions a 1,317m (0.818 miles)-long integrated city〔(Floating Cities ) at How Stuff Works; a discussion of floating cities using Freedom Ship as its example〕 with condominium housing for 50,000 people,〔 an airstrip to accommodate turboprop aircraft, duty-free shopping and other facilities, large enough to require rapid transit. The complex would circumnavigate the globe continuously, stopping regularly at ports of call.
==Construction==
Despite early press coverage on NPR's ''Weekend Edition'' and Discovery Channel's ''Extreme Engineering'', the project has seen few recent developments. Although the initially stated in-service date was to be 2001, no construction had begun as of November 2013.
Freedom Ship International initially estimated the net cost for construction to be USD 6 billion in 1999. However, by 2002, estimates had risen to USD 11 billion.〔 A July 2008 press release explained the difficulty of obtaining reliable financial backing. In November 2013, the company announced that the project, now with an estimated price of USD$10 billion, was being resurrected, though that construction had not yet begun.
