    It's the cargo ship that carried Srila Prabhupada to the West!
    The Christians have an old ship restored,and used as a floating library and is a great experience for devotees to go around the world with books of all languages,preaching and enjoying themselves!

    The Morarji family owns the boat.

    Jaladuta (1) 1904 ex- Shadwell, 1922 purchased from T & J. Brocklebank renamed Jaladuta, 1926 sold to Machida Shokai K.K., Kobe renamed Zuiko Maru. 4,091

    Jaladuta (2) 1927 1958 sold to Linea Adriatico Gulfo Persa, Costa Rica renamed Al Dammam. 4,966

    Jaladuta (3) 1959 1983 scrapped. 9,177

    I googled it but don't know which one the Founder Acarya utilized!

    "Messenger of the Water"

    The Jaladuta must be the most famous Indian vessel ever. She carried Srila Prabhupada the father of “Hare Krishna” from Calcutta to New York. She set sail on Friday the 13th of August 1965, and arrived in New York on September 19th. Srila Prabhupada got a free passage to America from the Scindia Steamship Navigation Company, whose owner, Srimati Morarji, was a devotee of Lord

    According to Umapati Swami, 'our' Jaladuta was scrapped. Devotees found it out only later.

    It would have to be Jaladuta (3) as it was the only one of the three not sold and renamed. Also, it was scrapped.

    However, I like the floating temple idea.

    I'd vouch for small boats, easier to manage. One devotee I know, joined many years ago because he had this dream, to go around the world in a sailing boat, and devotees told him it was possible to do it in sankirtan. After 30 years, he hasn't but still, who knows? :)

    If I remember well, in the first 'World of Hare Krishna' video (done in the eighties) there was shown such a sail boat called Jaladuta 2.
