Marco Polo Project, the Fastest Ship in the World is creating Pride and
Opportunity in our community.
Welcome to the official web site of The Marco Polo Project. It is our hope that this site will serve as an important source of knowledge about the Marco Polo for the Internet community, as well as providing a vehicle for continual updates on the status of the Project, and the dream to bring this great ship back to life. There is no better example of Canadas role as a leading shipbuilding nation than the Marco Polo. With her innovative and visionary design, and tenacious spirit, the Marco Polo carved a place in nautical history, bringing New Brunswick and Canada to the forefront. Please take the time to fully browse this site, and learn some of the unique history of The Fastest Ship in the World. Sign our guest book and let us know your thoughts. We'd love to have you along on the voyage. Sincerely, Barry Ogden,
