Marcus Kreikerbaum, a Professor, made some ships from wood and bird wings, which he was finding from the streets in Germany. Basically, he wished he could help people to come to a secure place. His small ships are not able to save the life, but can transfer a message to the world. A wish from an ordinary person! These ships became like a symbol of wish for freedom. That is why I let the ships inside the Ocean/River in countries where war/conflict exist at the moment.
