Big Boat

In recent news a man named Dutchman Johan Huibers from the Netherlands has finial completed his 20 yearlong goal to build a full scale replica of Noah’s Ark, (the one from the bible).  The size of boat that he came up with is an amazing 427 feet long 75 feet across.  The ship is now a great tortious attraction it has been filled with fake animals, a petting zoo, and exotic birds. 

I think that this is a good example of people who want to follow and fulfill their dreams.

  • I think that this guy has way to much time on his hands unless he can fish out of this boat or make money off of it i think that it was pointless to build it.

  • That's cool but I wonder if he was doing it just for publicity and to get noticed or to truly be closer to god. I think it's one think to hate and disrespect him but to lie for attention agaisnt him is just wrong.

  • I don't really see how it is possible to build a replica of the ark when the bible doesn't give blueprints or anything to go on. Even still I would like to see them try to get two of every animal in it.

  • That is so cool. I mean what an inspiration, having a goal from the bible. i would really like to see this boat. It shows what can happen when you start with just a dream.

  • I think this is really cool and i really would love to see this in person. The person who made this is just a fantastic hi=uman being and should get a medal for doing this.

  • This is quite the feat to accomplish. It must have cost a lot i bet he had fundraisers to help pay for the supplies.

  • I think that's really neat that he did that. Maybe he's getting ready for the world to end??

  • That is absolutely amazing that a man could do that! I wonder where he got the funds for this massive project. I mean it can not have been cheap!

  • That,s pretty cool to actually build a life size version of Noah arc and then make it in to a petting Zoo. That must have taken quite a bit of wood.

  • Now that is dedication. This just goes to show that if you really want to reach a goal, it's possible if you give it your all. He could've easily given up but he didn't. He must feel very proud of himself. I think it would be really cool to go visit this modern Noah's Ark.
