What is the smallest ship that has successfully navigated across an ocean?
The smallest ship to successfully navigate across an ocean is the Avon Adventure, a 33-foot (10-meter) trimaran that sailed from Plymouth, England, to Newport, Rhode Island, in 1989. The boat was designed and built by David Scott Cowper, who lost his job after 15 years at a shipyard and decided to build the boat to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
The Avon Adventure was made of fiberglass and weighed just 3,000 pounds (1,360 kilograms). It had a single mast and was powered by a 4-horsepower (3-kilowatt) diesel engine. The boat was equipped with a self-steering system and a satellite navigation system.
Cowper sailed the Avon Adventure across the Atlantic Ocean in 14 days and 10 hours, and he was the first person to sail a boat of that size across an ocean. The Avon Adventure is now on display at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut.
