  2. The Seven Seas including the Arctic and Antarctic Ocean would be difficult, I suggest Captain Cook as the first, though Balboa was first in the Antarctic. The other ships that have done it are Sealers/Whalers and now Scientific Research and Specialise Cruise vessels.

  3. Its going to have to stop, you can recover a boat while maintaining a low speed the recovery of an aircraft is more difficult and a full stop will be needed. An Aircraft is a very fragile item. Also very weather dependent.
