The Killer Whale

Voyage 1

• About Us

  We are sophomores at Brien McMahon High School in Norwalk, Connecticut. We have experience building an ROV with our teacher Mr. LaPrad, and now are building our own miniboat, The Killer Whale. We named our boat after its coloration: its hull is painted black with some parts left white. This is different from our sister-ship M/B Booyah (built by another group of students) that is painted red.

  During our project we have been learning the basics of naval architecture and all the components that go into making a boat fast and withstand the elements when faced out in the ocean. We hope our miniboat travels anywhere on the other side of the Atlantic. Our goal is for her to land in an area that we would be able to connect with others and recover it from later on!

  We would like to thank The Bermuda International Shipping Company for launching our miniboats and giving us a tour of the Bermuda Islander cargo ship.
