The Paul Revere is an airship which travels across the Atlantic ocean between Washington and Ponta Delgada. It costs £630, allows for 1 suitcases and takes 25 hearts from Fogg.
During the trip, Fogg will ask Passepartout to bribe the captain of the Paul Revere to either go faster or take the ship all the way to London directly. Flying faster will cost £2000, and arrive in Ponta Delgada seven hours early - allowing you to catch a same-day connection to London or Lisbon. Bribing the captain to fly to London will cost £4000; though this will cause the airship to travel extremely quickly towards London, it will ultimately result in it crashing off the coast of England.
The airship apparently sinks slowly (one day), making the journey slower. It is a better option to go to Ponta Delgada.
If the airship crashes, Fogg and Passepartout will eventually be rescued by gyrocopters and fly to London - which will add about two days compared to arriving in Ponta Delgada and going to London via Lisbon.
