Row, Row, Row Your Paper Boat, Gently Down the London Thames… [Art]

We would still be looking ahead to the first paper plane to carry a human from A to B, but a German-made paper boat has floated successfully down the London Thames, with the ideal name of ” HMS Origami.”

German ” artist” Frank Bolter cheated not directly, as the paper he used wasn’t normal construction paper you and I made our boats from as kids-it was actually the tougher sort, that is used for juice boxes and other drinks cartons. Once made, it measured 5.4m in length-just long enough for a regular Mail hack to hop inside and sail it down the river. [ Daily Mail ]
