World's first ‘Space Station of the Sea’

IT looks more like the Starship Enterprise sinking in the sea - but this huge vertical vessel could be the future of ocean exploration.

SeaOrbiter, a huge 51m (167ft) structure of a huge vertical vessel is all set to be the world's first vertical ship allowing man a revolutionary view of life below the surface.

Although currently only a prototype its inventor Jacques Rougerie thinks his international oceanographic station will soon be setting sail. Mr Rougerie wants the ship to be a space station for scientists giving an insight into the little-known world under the sea.
