A man who made a real replica of the Noah's boat, planning a business trip on the Thames at the London Olympics

Johan Huibers, who lives in the Netherlands, had a dream that the Netherlands was hit by a flood on one day. He thought "It is a terrible nightmare," he decided to build a boat following the story.

It is also called 'Johan's Ark', it is a real replica of the Noah's boat. The size is 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, 45 feet high, about half the size of Titanic.




Johan Huibers is the man who is interviewed.


Of course, enormous money is hanging on making this boat, and it is completed by spending 1.6 million dollars (about 130 million yen) in 3 years. Fortunately, he is an official of a construction company and he seems to have finished successfully without any obsession with money.

However, now that the ark is completed, he does not care at all about "the final judgment", he seems to think whether he can do a sightseeing spot with animal duplication etc. on this boat. Indeed, already in the ship animal models etc. are adorned.



Olympic games will take place in London in 2012, but at that time they are planning to float on the Thames.


Maybe someday you actually serve as an ark?
