Narnia Boat

[Otto49]

In the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian", what type of boat is that used to cross the river? It is incredible!!!

I will see if I can find photos.


Thanks,

Here is one OK shot.

It has very nice detailing along the upper edge.

Quite probably designed for the movie...like the canoes in Lord of the Rings. But looking closer I don't think it actually is IN the water. Look along the waterline...there should be SOMETHING showing under the water other than a rather weird looking rudder shape. The hull stops exactly at the water and even a flat bottomed boat draws some water. The lines suggest the hull continues in a rounded fashion so you should see some kind of darkness below the water. The people are outlined too sharply too...to use a phrase...this has been photoshopped.

Your right. It looks like it is magically sitting on top of the water

I noticed the 0" draft in the photo too.

When the DVD comes out I'll try and download several photos. It seemed very wide for the length.

There were a number of shots of it in the movie. I asked my wife after the movie what she thought about it... "There was a boat in the movie"? was her response.

There are no liquids in Narnia.

People get killed by swords without bleeding.

Boats have zero displacement.

It's a magical place. :D

Tom,

you have that slightly off....

in a place with no liquids any boat would have infinite displacement since it would never drop below DWL regardless of load

have to agree about not seeing any blood in the movie last night

That rudder is never going to fall off is it! Triple pintles.

Quite a sweet little thing isnt she?... come on fellas someones gotta have some ideas!! What about an extended wider beam Oughtred's elf perhaps with a few odds an sods added? Some wierd Scandinavian type boat with a totally unpronouncible name? come on someones gotta know! :cool:

Were it not for the photoshopped picture and the fact that it is not actually in the water I would say that it remarkable resembles a small modified knarr with a stern rudder.

artists take on a norse style.

this is somewhat similar: http://www.batritningar.se/default.aspx?Language=EN&Currency=USD&Page=BoatplansDetails&Id=30

too many strakes and the wrong bow/stern curves though.

I wonder how stable the narnia boat is.

[jerry bark]

If you go see the movie there is a genuine film sequence of that boat being oared and beached.

it is a good movie on its own BTW.

cheers
