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 Tunisia, 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 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 Mediterranean ports as a
tourist attraction.
DMC&A is pleased to work with production
companies on marine based projects and when naval architecture/surveying
expertise is required.
