On July 26, Plastiki‘s journey came to an end when the boat reached the harbor in Sydney, Australia. The trip took four months to complete, and Plastiki traveled for 8,000 nautical miles.

David de Rothschild and his crew thank everyone who tracked Plastiki‘s voyage online.

Read about the end of Plastiki‘s journey and learn more about the boat, which is made of reused plastics and aluminum.
