Default 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.
