Ah, the good ole' Pykrete (ice and woodpulp)  aircraft carrier. IIRC, there was actually a prototype built and floated on a Canadian lake.

A really interesting concept in a seagoing vessel. One of the main problems appears to have been it did not do well on rough seas.

And now lies abandoned and rusting last I heard. There was an episode of the show, "What On Earth" I believe about it. A truly unique concept but massively over priced as I recall?

Yes, as 'moi' watched an episode of "Abandoned WTH"-? featuring this, along with plenty of others stuff, and it got myself interested about such-! Being 'Russians' then these greatly misspelled "LOON"-! 'Canadians' might generously "proffer" a couple 'Loons' for this-? FOR the 'Model Kit', eh-?

It wasn't a boat.
It wasn't a plane.

It was an ekronoplan!
