  One of the comments there ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27138310 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27138310 ) pointed out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2WKJtbm8yM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2WKJtbm8yM about a project to build a cargo ship: > This is a summary of our story so far, from building the shipyard to shipbuilding. The film follows the progress made by SAILCARGO INC. a young organisation emerging from the mangroves of Costa Rica, with the bold aim to change how the world goes about international shipping. https://www.sailcargo.org https://www.sailcargo.org > Building Ceiba: 45m Square-Topsail Cargo Schooner > We are a group of shipwrights, carpenters, business professionals and sailors. Ceiba is our effort to inspire change in the industry to which we have devoted our lives. Ceiba is a sustainably-constructed vessel that will carry cargo, 100% emission-free. When operational in 2022 she will be the world’s largest, active, clean ocean-going cargo vessel. She will elevate the existing sail cargo movement to a new level while bringing attention to the harmful and pollutive practices of the global shipping industry. (I have no idea if it's practical, but it's wonderfully romantic and I love it!)
