NEPTUNE FILM SET
This vessel, at the time, the most expensive film
"prop" in the world, was designed and constructed for Carthago
Films for the Roman Polanski film "Pirates". The vessel
was built in Malta and towed to Tunisia for fitout and is based on a steel sub-hull with diesel powered
multi-directional thrusters. DMC&A both undertook design work
for the project and oversaw the build in Malta and Tunisia. The
vessel is, in actual fact, much larger than a typical galleon of the
period at over 60m. All the rigging and sails are operational.
Neptune proved extremely successful and can now be seen moored in
Genoa, Italy as a tourist attraction.
DMC&A is pleased to work with production
companies on marine based projects, particularly when naval architecture/surveying
expertise is required.
