The Elizabeth Swann cruising along the Amazon river to Manaus, using Captain Nemo's advanced technology
The Elizabeth Swann is autonomously piloted by Captain Nemo, named after the Captain of the Nautilus in Jules Verne's classic: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The advanced self steering apparatus consists of a stand alone unmanned navigation system, that is fully COLREGs (Collision Avoidance at Sea Regulations) compliant.
Captain Nemo incorporates an object recognition system, to help the ship identify vessels at sea. Being able to plot a course, and then concentrate on other matters, frees John Storm and his crew up for other tasks. The system is constantly alert, can spot objects many miles away, invisible to the human eye, and never gets tired.
Most accidents at sea are a result of human error. The Elizabeth Swann is more at risk from other boats and ships, than from any navigational error. Though, weather conditions play an important part in route planning. Hence, the ships instruments need to be of a very high quality, to ensure trouble free cruising.
The 'Elizabeth Swann' is a solar assisted, hydrogen powered ship that is thought to be the fastest in the world, and the most advanced technologically. She was inspired by the character, Elizabeth Swann, in the Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movies, (played by Keira Knightley.
Captain Nemo is enhanced by Hal, the onboard supercomputer that manages the ship's systems, security and safety features. Hal is an artificially intelligent AI crew member, self learning, and friends with John and Dan, But especially close with John, who is able to communicate via his CyberCore™ nano-computer and BioCore™ brain implant. Hal is interactive with The Ark, onboard DNA database.
The Swann is equipped with a stunning array of ocean instruments, that makes her invaluable for underwater surveys and other surface marine tasks, under the command of her rugged ocean conservationist captain: John Storm. A man of many talents, who becomes physically and mentally enhanced during his adventures.
