    I think it’s probably referring to yachts rather than ocean liners.

      Ocean liners are all but extinct. They’ve been supplanted by cruise ships which are utterly horrific for the environment.

          Sailboats shouldn’t be that bad considering what goes into their construction and that they don’t actively produce pollutants beyond whatever wears off your rope and I guess painting the hull every couple of years.
