Take a journey into the world of super sized, super strong, super unique ships. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography takes viewers out to sea to see how their FLIP research vessel flips a full 90 degrees, sinking over three quarters of its 355-foot length. In Miami, go behind the scenes of one of the largest cruise ships in the world. In California, step onboard the Navy’s newest, most advanced transport ship and take a spin in one of America’s strongest and greenest tugboats. In Boston, venture into the frigid world of an LNG carrier, transporting enough natural gas to power a million homes for an entire week. In Maine, hop on “the Cat,” the fastest car ferry in North America–it’s a huge twin-hulled catamaran. Finally, learn how a ship that looks like an enormous spider on water may someday save lives.
