The world’s largest sailing cargo ship will embark on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic, leaving a French port in early August to deliver 1,000 tons of cognac and champagne to New York City by September 3. The ship’s cargo will have a carbon footprint ten times lower than a standard container ship.
“For centuries, we’ve known that deep ocean winds are abundant, and we’ve had hydrographic charts,” says Guillaume Le Grand, CEO of TOWT, the French company that commissioned the project.
