Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

They're not claiming to have invented sail power, just to have made a way to make it viable for modern container ships.
Small correction on a right thinking comment: modern for any kind of ship other than container ships. Although if it takes off (which is something people have been talking about for 20 years), someone will eventually figure out how to stick some kind of sale on a post-Panamax boxship.
