Alcatraz Gets A Sun And Wind Powered Boat
With over 1.4 million visitors every year taking a trip across to Alcatraz Island that works out at a lot of fuel and a huge carbon footprint, luckily Alcatraz Cruises have recently launched their solution to this the problem, the Hornblower Hybrid ferry.
This vessel has two wind turbines and a solar array, which generates power for part of the propulsion system, lighting and even the navigation equipment. The vessel is capable of carrying a hundred and sixty passengers at a time, although there are plans for another vessel to join the fleet.
