A faithful reproduction of Noah's ark, using the dimensions in The Bible, has just opened to the public in The Netherlands.
The worlds first prepper!
As it was in the days of Noah ...
Tweeted the link. Thanks for posting.
Pretty cool. I recall reading about stability tests they did on models of the ark years ago (unrelated to this).

1993: Safety Investigation of Noah’s Ark in a Seaway; S.W.Hong et al , CEN TJ 8(1)1994 (AiG)
The premier paper on the structure and seakeeping of Noah’ Ark. Test data was generated by naval architects and structural engineers at the world class ship design and research center KRISO (formerly KORDI) in Korea. The comparative study focused on the Biblical proportions and demonstrated the superior choice of length, breadth and depth. Through scale model tests, computer analysis and calculations using shipping rules the capability of the Biblical ark was claimed to be structurally adequate for 30m waves. (Significant wave height).

1996: Noah’s Ark: A Feasibility Study: John Woodmorappe, ICR, 1996
The premier reference on the operation of Noah’s Ark - especially animal related issues. Written as a refutation of arguments against the feasibility of Noah’s voyage, and as a compilation of solutions for the logistics of the account. Woodmorappe deliberately makes minimal use of the “miraculous” to show the even from a materialist perspective the account is possible. See here Extensive research bibliography is very handy.
Man, I would love to go see that.
Quite inspirational.
It would wonderful for him to fill the Ark with two of each animal.
I thought you might like to see this picture.
Hopefully there is room enough for 2 of everything. Especially the 2 ply...
Right! What’s a cubit?
I would love to build one, that would be the thrill of my life!
I wonder how seaworthy it is. Then again, with GOD anything is possible.
