That is cool, I didn't know sailing ships were being used to transport any significant cargo. It is also interesting that some are so old. I like the juxtaposition of and on sailing ship with modern gear still working today.

The discussion about the difficulties of avoiding carbon emissions are unfortunately a downer. Depending on the amenities needed it isn't even better than flying.
