“It looks more like the Starship Enterprise sinking in the sea – but this huge vertical vessel could be the future of ocean exploration. Called the SeaOrbiter, the huge 67ft structure is 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 the sea giving scientists an insight into the little-known world under the sea.”
