Interesting book
My 2 cents..
I think the movie industry missed an opportunity to contribute some of their
resources to the possible recreation of such a vessel, for real..
What they spent on such a 'fake' ship could have gone into the building of a
full size (or slightly scaled down) ship. There are a number of Wooden Boat
Societies and wooden boat schools that would have jumped at the funding and
opportunity to create a extremely accurate reproduction..
The movie industry has done this in the past and the public has benefited
for years after the movie was retired from circulation.
Seems the movie techno-geeks would rather dazel the public with fake effects
than work with real ships of the period.
My opinion. FWIW.
