Our youngest member

Our youngest member, Julian Tristan Zrenner from Germany sends us the enclosed snap of the Arms of Castille and Leon on board the full-scale galleon which was built for the film "Pirates" of Roman Polanski in a shipyard in the village of Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia, adjacent to the Tarak Ben Ammar Studios. An accurate replica above the waterline, but sporting a steel hull and a 400 HP auxiliary engine, the "Neptune" was and still is entered into the Tunisian naval register and is currently a tourist attraction in the port of Genoa where Julian Tristan photographed it.
