Freedom Ship: Proposed Mile-Long Floating City to House 80,000 People
The Freedom Ship is a proposed $15-16 billion floating city designed to house around 80,000 people, including residents, tourists, and crew. Stretching about one mile (1.8 km) long and 250 meters wide, it aims to function as a permanent, mobile community circumnavigating the globe every two to three years. Planned features include homes, schools, hospitals, parks, shops, a stadium, and an airport runway, powered by nuclear energy and operating independently of traditional ports. CEO Roger Gooch emphasizes that securing funding is crucial for the project's realization.
