Remember that the BBC programme, Bang Goes The Theory, launched their ice boat earlier this week.
Since then, we’ve been chatting to the Beeb about using their photos.
You might be wondering why the boat is brown instead of a more ice-like white colour. During the construction of the boat, hemp was integrated into the ice to increase its hardiness.
Sadly for the team, it became clear that the rain that was staring to fall was their “worst ice-melting scenario.”
Guess the writing was on the walls, and a short while after that, they had to abandon the attempt while still in Portsmouth Harbour.
Good on them for giving it a go.
Thanks to @BBCBang & @LouiseRidley for the use of their photos.
