I'm a bit confused by your tags! Is this fiction, or are you quoting an actual news story?

[ringthebells]

Never mind, I followed the link at the top and saw that they're still looking for money to build the thing.

:) Yeah it's one of my favourite Utopian projects. It's been around since like 1998 I think. I remember reading about it in the basement of the Killam.

I knew about Sealand. Pretty awesome. This Freedom Ship article you've excerpted from... It there aplace online I can read the whole thing?

I clearly need to do a better job of labelling (other than the fiction tag). There is no original article! Construction on the Freedom Ship never got started. This is me imagining if it had been, and a retrospective feature article that could have been written about it.
