The Mayflower
ProMare is a key partner in the development of the world’s first full-sized, fully autonomous unmanned research ship. The vessel will take the same 3220 mile route the original Mayflower used 400 years ago. It will only use wind and solar technology for the journey, and will also gather data about the condition of the ocean.
