A man from the Netherlands is building his own scale model of Noah’s Ark, reproducing as much as possible the boat described in the Book of Genesis. The ark is one-fifth the size of Noah’s and is built of American cedar and Norwegian pine, but otherwise intends to match the biblical description. The builder, Johan Huibers, is spending $1 million, but hopes to recover that cost by charging admission to visitors. In September, he plans to sail the boat through the interior waters of the Netherlands. The article has more information and a couple of photos.
