The residents at Portland will think, that prison ship is on the cards again, for their harbour

Its barking mad and will never be built....

[x1m]

At first glance I thought it was a personal warship!

[minimax]

I wonder how it would handle in a storm?

Has ferkall about Freedom! Don't forget that according to maritime law any Captain has absolute power!!!! So how can a floating city regsitered as a ship be "free"????
Cloud cuckoo land or as they said 2 hundred years ago South Sea Bubble!!!

I wonder what its engines would sound like decatted

Was going to say that i had heard of this a number of years ago and see that it's still not awywhere near being a reality. I doubt it ever will unless a Bill Gates type finances it. Even then I'm not sure it will be a success. Still all those who are worried about 'global warming' should be on the list by now

'18,000 living units, with prices in the range of $180,000...'

£100K? I could move in and have £85K spending money.

Looks like a floating multi-storey NCP car park.

It is being built - in fact it's been in build for a few years now.

'Titanic II' just springs to mind

Forget that, you want one of these

Can't see this ever getting off the ground. Where is it in build. The website speaks as if they are still trying to secure financing.

Speaking of which, wasn't there a Japanese consortium who were planning to build a replica of the Titanic? What happened to that? Last I heard they had enough interest to fill the first 50 cruises or some such...

From their front page i quote " Many of you already know what we have created. "

Yes indeed. I saw one at 12:32, just before I flushed.
