Sailing ships are not completely pollution free. They must be built, painted, maintained, repaired by people and tools that generate pollution in their manufacture and/or use.

Ssiling does require less of a crew now, but still people have to eat whether at sea or on land. That was a foolish shot. Note that pollution only shows up in Cities where it is concentrated, (lots of cars) and less trees. Answer: Plant more trees in the cities. Trees handle Pollution. Note: none, or minimal pollution in outlying areas of the country. I won’t live in a town with more than one stop light. Too much polluting while doing a useless activity. Why do you think that wealthier towns pride themselves in lots of them. Note: The problems Mr. T ran into when he tried to clear his own land. Sailing crew and cost can be fun and limited by taking on volunteers for the lesser experience jobs. People would come on and do this just for the experience of it. The Bounty takes on Volunteers for differing periods of time. Oh, and Global Warming; ain’t happening. Don’t fall for it.

I think that the range and power of alternative technology are damaged by being over-hyped. People read a couple of statistics and suddenly are experts.

The fact of the tall ship being in service is fascinating — I would have liked to learn more about it. The speculation on carbon footprint impact is pure garbage and spoils the article.
