These boats are not toys as they seem to be, as they replicate life-like oil supertankers.

The Warsash Maritime Academy in England has created these electronically powered oil tankers for boat captains-in-training. With a price tag of $240,000, it seems that these little boats must have effective training strategies.

The training includes how to handle a failed engine crisis, which can be deliberately done by a remote control on one of these oil tanker replicas.
