海洋節
地方性遺產
您可以利用牛奶空盒製做許多物品，但您曾想要把它們製成一艘船嗎？那就是照片中的小丑所搭乘的物體！
假如您出席西雅圖的年度海洋節，您可能就有機會看見參加牛奶紙盒船競賽的這位小丑。海洋節是一個為期10天的慶祝活動，於華盛頓州的普吉灣舉辦，一個位於太平洋上，長約100哩的海灣。自1950年以來，海洋節即贊助舉行了為數不少的各式活動，包括遊行、高空跳水、短篇喜劇及牛奶紙盒船競賽(Milk
Carton Derby)。
牛奶紙盒船競賽極為有趣！小孩及大人都必須發揮他們的想像力，設計及做出牛奶紙盒船，以在五項競賽項目中勝出。幾乎所有的設計都可以參加，只要漂浮的主要工具是牛奶盒即可。半加侖的空盒可以承載約四磅的重量，所以您的船艦每重100磅，您就需要25個半加侖的牛奶空盒，因此，每艘船的最低數量為50個牛奶空盒，而且不可以使用馬達。
所以，只要想要參加這個競賽，就必須喝掉很多很多的牛奶！
There are lots of things you can make with empty milk cartons, but would you ever think to make them into a boat? That's exactly what the clown in the photo is riding on!
If you come to Seattle's annual Seafair, you will probably see this clown in the Milk Carton Derby. Seafair is a 10-day celebration of Washington state's Puget Sound, a 100-mile-long inlet of the Pacific Ocean. Since 1950, Seafair has sponsored a number of different activities, including parades, high-dive acts, comedy skits, and the Milk Carton Derby.
The Milk Carton Derby is a lot of fun! Both kids and adults put their imaginations to work and build milk carton boats to compete in five race categories. Almost any design is acceptable, so long as milk cartons are the primary means of flotation. A half-gallon carton will float about four pounds of weight, so for every 100 pounds of weight on your vessel, you will need 25 half-gallon milk cartons. A minimum of 50 milk cartons is required for each boat and motors are not allowed.
So whoever wants to enter the race will have to drink lots of milk!
