It launched in New York July 2009, navigating down the East River, exploring the waters of New York Harbor, and stopping at each of the five boroughs docking at several Manhattan piers on the Hudson River. |

From Wikipedia:Waterpod
The Waterpod was a community-based public art project in New York City in 2009. Open to the public, an ecosystem on a barge called the Waterpod visited the five boroughs at eight different piers for two weeks at a time during the summer of 2009, hosting a series of events. It was designed as a futuristic habitat and an experimental platform for assessing the design and efficacy of autonomous marine living systems in preparation for an assumed future.A multinational team including artists, designers, marine engineers, and civic activists led by the artist Mary Mattingly alongside the New York City Office of the Mayor Special Projects, the United States Coast Guard, and the New York City SBS Dockmaster Unit, this was a cross-disciplinary project that took place in the waterways of New York City in 2009. |

To improve page discoverability[edit source]
Use databoxes to add structured data to your pages, which will enable searchability. As a policy, these will be required on all pages according to the type of page.
- Template:Page data — This databox displays basic information about the page such as authors, type, year of creation, keywords, and whether it is part of a collection of pages. All pages should contain this template to help categorize its content and allow others to find information more easily.
- Template:Project data — For project pages (example)
- Template:Device data — For device pages (example). It mostly contains links to parts of the documentation that might be part of the page, on subpages or as external resources.
- Template:Organization data — For organization pages (example).
- Template:Medical skill data — It organizes metadata for medical skill pages.
- Template:Location data — It helps to locate your device or project and display its location on a map on the page see an example). You can also use this information to display collections of pages according to a category or keywords (See El_Salvador#Sustainability_initiatives for an example.
- Template:Contact data — Add contact information (example).
