While mastering the land, a person simultaneously mastered the expanses of water. Ships became more and more, sea voyages – all longer. By the 21st century, comfort on passenger liners has reached previously unimaginable heights. Formerly Deadly Marine Traveling turned into a pleasant pastime. Just left just one step to make the ship a means of transportation permanent residence. And it seems that this step has already been taken. Soon on a vast ship will appear on the ocean will live. The idea belongs to Norman Nixon, the owner of the company. “Engeneering Solutions”. The ship was originally planned as giant cruise ship, but already in the process of developing the project Nixon got the idea to change the concept and turn ship in a floating city. An ambitious project called “Freedom Ship” (Freedom Ship). To implement the plan was Freedom Ship International established. Ship dimensions are amazing. Length – more than a kilometer (1307 m), width – 300 meters, total weight – 3 million tons, displacement – 2.7 million tons. 25 decks on which there will be everything to live, work and relax: restaurants and bars, computer rooms and casinos, stadiums and pools, courts and movie theaters. 100,000 people will live in the city at the same time, of which 80,000 are passengers and 20,000 are maintenance personnel.

Since the Freedom Ship has the concept of a city, it will not familiar passenger ship. There will be kindergartens, schools, libraries, university, hospital, hotel, post office, banks and several enterprises of light and processing industries, focused on the internal needs of the “city”. 200 acres areas of the ship are reserved for gardens and parks. In the “city” will be public transport: trolleybuses and trams on the top the deck will be the airfield. At the disposal of residents will be pleasure boats, boats and one submarine. Safety on the ship will be provided by a security service (internal police) at the rate of 1 policeman for 15 passengers and its own “army” capable of resist terrorists and pirates. There is a prison. The floating city will be in constant motion, making every two years travel around the world. Due to its size the ship will not be able to enter any of the ports, but parking is provided on raids lasting from 1 to 4 days. Passengers “Ship Liberty “, will be able to go ashore on one of the boats and wander around the city like ordinary tourists. Photos from open sources

80% of the “apartments” will be in personal ownership and 20% – rent out. Living in such a city is not a cheap pleasure. The cost of apartments ranges from $ 180,000 to $ 3.5 million. There are also several cabins of the superclass for the price of several tens of millions dollars. And, despite this, there are already applications for 20,000 “apartments”. What lures a wealthy elite floating city? Nixon is not in vain gave his project the name “Freedom Ship”. In his plans turn the ship into a floating independent state, with its symbols (flag, anthem, coat of arms), constitution, president, currency and etc. attributes of a sovereign power. Ship Freedom Means complete absence of taxes and freedom from laws of other states. So that there can be no doubt that the Freedom Ship will become large international financial center in whose territory will to make deals in billions of dollars.

Nixon estimates the cost of the project at $ 9 billion. Collect ship planned in Honduras from sections manufactured at the factory in saudi arabia. The assembly will take 40 months and another year to arrangement of the “internal filling”. But … the Freedom Ship must was launched in 2010. However no matter how much you rummaged on the Internet, photos of this handsome ship you are not will find. Apparently, the financing problem turned out to be more complicated than was supposed. In 2014, company management stated that was able to finally find the missing funds and promised implementation project over the next three years.
