The
Elizabeth Swann, cruising up the Amazon, to Manaus
The
Elizabeth Swann is
a technological marvel. She is solar and hydrogen
powered, as predicted by Jules
Verne in 1874. Held to the be fastest zero emission ship on planet
earth.
The
Swann does not receive as much solar assistance while in southern latitudes,
thus is more dependent on green hydrogen fuel compounds. Of which, John
Storm and Dan Hawk are acutely aware.
The
vessel is also packed with juicy tech, that makes her something special.
Equipped with the Artificially
Intelligent 'Hal' computer, the trimaran is a virtual living thing,
an autonomous (robotic) lifeform, more than capable of navigating anywhere in the world at high speed,
without polluting the atmosphere or the oceans. Hal is capable of
exceeding the Turing Test, being far more knowledgeable and intelligent,
than most humans, regardless of their Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
In
addition, the Swann is equipped with a stunning sensor array, split beam
sonars, magnetometers, water chemical analysis via a virtual laboratory,
drone aerial surveillance, and satellite interfaces - making her
self aware and in tune with her surroundings. The ship also houses The
Ark, the world's most powerful interactive digital DNA
library.
Hal,
works with Captain
Nemo, the autonomous
navigation
system that includes object recognition, so as to be more than COLREGs;
Collision Avoidance Regulations compliant, to satisfy the International
Maritime Organization's (IMO) requirements.
The
integrated system is loyal to John
Storm, coded to recognize and protect him, and other authorized members of
the crew.
