Moby the Boat – level 3

27-10-2020 15:00

Former SAS soldier Tom McClean has spent 100,000 pounds and 2 decades building his 20-metre boat in the shape of a whale.

Moby the boat is set to take her 73-year-old creator on a journey from Loch Nevis in Scotland to London and then New York, USA, which is a 5,600-kilometre adventure.

When asked why, the man says, ‘Why not?’ He does things instead of watching television, and he aims to get environmental companies to be involved so he can help the planet as well.

Difficult words: former (-ex), SAS (Special Air Service), loch (the Scottish word for ‘lake’), aim (have a goal for something).

You can watch the video news lower on this page.

Would you ride this boat from England to New York?
