Appearance:
Attractive artwork and creative architecture would grace the ship. Parks and promenades
would boast waterfalls, ponds, and extensive landscaping. Most levels would feature
large saltwater aquariums. The shopping mall, one of the world's largest, would also
be one of its most beautiful. Portions would be dedicated to individual countries,
featuring culturally characteristic architectures. The planned 100-foot-wide main
deck would lead to a marina at the stern. Over 200 acres of open area are planned
for recreation and relaxation.
Comfort and Safety:
The vessel's proposed flat bottom hull construction, along with its extraordinary size,
would result in unmatched and unprecedented stability providing a smooth ride in the
roughest seas. Proposed safety of the vessel is enhanced by the use of 600 individual
air/water tight hull sections. Extensive use of 4 hour rated firebreaks between decks
areas within the decks will enhance fire safety. The ship would be virtually fireproof.
The proposed electro-static ventilation system would supply uncontaminated, filtered and
purified air.
Ship's Movement and Transportation:
As it circumnavigates the world, Freedom Ship would make a series of offshore stops, including
exotic tropical islands accessible only by sea. These stops would provide the ship's residents
and entrepreneurs with extensive and varied touring and business opportunities, and bring a
continual stream of visitors to the ship to patronize its shops, restaurants, and entertainment
facilities. The ship would provide as many as 40,000 tourists to ports around the world. These
cities and countries would eagerly anticipate this influx, as well as the major market the ship
represents for local farmers, fishermen, and merchants. Stopover schedules would be based on
business volume and touring popularity. Customers, merchants, businessmen, and residents would
be able to utilize the ship's fleet of aircraft and hydrofoils, as well as commercial commuter
airlines, to come and go from the ship even between stopovers.
The ship's design would accept up to 40,000 full time residents, 30,000 daily visitors,
10,000 nightly hotel guests, and 20,000 full time crew. This population of 100,000 people
provides a wealth of talent and diversity for the private businesses aboard the ship and to
those they visit daily on their adventures ashore.
