LC-1 Amphora
In 2009, I personally experienced the massive floods brought about by Tropical Storm Ketsana that left much of Manila under several meters of water. The withdrawing floods also left a large amount of debris on the streets, hampering cleanup.
With these memories still vivid in my mind, I chose to create a rapidly-deployable debris retrieval craft designed to retrieve as much floating debris as possible for transfer elsewhere before the floodwaters receded, thus reducing cleanup times and economic impact.
The project gained the code-name "Amphora" after the storage vessels used on ancient Greek ships.
