I've written before about the hospital ship
African Mercy, and Shell's
Prelude FLNG, NYC's
prison barge, and even the
Blueseed visa-free startup ship -- which are all great examples of flexible, floating infrastructure. Thanks now to
UD for
spotting the
Logos Hope...
"...the world’s largest floating bookstores. The Logos Hope is operated by a German charity organization, and its mission is to take books, education, and community outreach around the world. [...] Part of the ship’s mission is to make low-cost books available in parts of the world where books are hard to come by–this includes not only selling books below retail prices, but also establishing libraries in local schools, children’s homes, and other community organization wherever the Logos Hope sails. In addition to book-distribution, the Logos Hope hosts educational programming about fitness, AIDS prevention, and a variety of other subjects. Since it set sail in 2004, the Logos Hope has distributed more than 3 million books and had more than 2.5 million visitors onboard."
