I saw these boats during construction. In 1991 I was in South
Carolina where we ran across the boat shop I think it was Sawdust Boat
Works. He was building them for some kind of art project. We had the
chance to get in the boats and I have a few pictures of them.

Micro's commissioned by Chris?

Burden carefully selected the sites: The Mayflower embarked from

Three Ghost Ships epitomizes Chris Burden's masterful fusion of real

In the Gagosian Gallery installation, the computer within one of the
Ghost Ships will be programmed periodically to unfurl its sail, pivot
its rudder, and simulate the mechanisms of automatic navigation.

Chris Burden's Three Ghost Ships is a trio of actual sailboats,
fitted with solar panels, electronic gear, and global satellite

I think it's a display in South Carolina, built by Mark Bane(?) in Seat
Pleasant, outside Charleston, but that pict was posted a long time ago.

I believe this might relate to a "performance art" scheme that involved letting loose some micros (from Ireland?) into the Atlantic, unmanned, with autopilots. At least I think I remember some such item, accompanied by a similar photo, but perhaps I just dreamed it.
