Modrá stuha
.jpg)
Modrá stuha při plavbě přes Atlantský oceán bylo zvláštní prestižní putovní ocenění, které bylo udělováno jednotlivým lodím, jež nejrychleji přepluly severní Atlantský oceán na trase z New Yorku do Evropy (obvykle do Liverpoolu nebo i jiného evropského přístavu). Byla zavedena v roce 1838, tedy v první polovině 19. století, a existuje vlastně až do dnešních dob. Prvním držitelem této ceny se v roce 1838 stal kolesový parník SS Sirius, který vykonal cestu z Corku do New Yorku rychlostí 8,03 uzlu (14,87 km/h) za 18 dní, 14 hodin a 22 minut a cestu z New Yorku do Falmouthu rychlostí 7,31 uzlu za 18 dní. Poté se v držení této ceny vystřídala celá řada dalších lodí z Francie, USA a Velké Británie, později i z Německa či Itálie. Mezi slavné držitele modré stuhy patří mimo jiné i známé parníky Lusitania a Mauretania.
Jednou z posledních držitelek modré stuhy byla americká loď United States, jež tuto vzdálenost překonala v roce 1952 za 3 dny plus 10 hodin a 40 minut.
Ocenění bylo zejména v dobách, kdy neexistovala dálková transoceánská letecká doprava, velmi prestižní i z komerčních, respektive ekonomických důvodů. Jednotliví dopravci se na svoje luxusní lodě snažili nalákat bohatou pasažérskou klientelu i nákladní přepravce (například přepravce poštovních zásilek). Tyto závody o nejrychlejší loď vedly také k několika námořním katastrofám.
Poznámky
Název Modrá stuha dal jméno i různým českým vodáckým a jachtařským akcím jako je:
- Modrá stuha Vltavy
- Modrá stuha Ohře
- Modrá stuha Svratky
- Modrá stuha Lipna
