Replica of a 17th-century Spanish galleon.
Neptune is a ship replica of a fictional 17th-century galleon designed by naval architect David Cannell. The ship was built in 1985 for Roman Polanski's film Pirates, where she portrayed the Spanish ship of the same name. The ship is an accurate replica above the waterline, but sporting a partly steel hull, planked in timber and two main engines with Schottel drive.
