Neptune is a ship replica of a fictional 17th-century galleon designed by naval architect David Cannell. The ship was built in 1985 for Roman Polanski's film Pirates , where she portrayed the Spanish ship of the same name. The ship is an accurate replica above the waterline, but sporting a partly steel hull, planked in timber and two main engines with Schottel drive.
The Neptune is currently a tourist attraction in the port of Genoa, Italy, where its interior can be visited for a 6-euro entry fee for adults and 4 euros for children. [1] [2] In 2011, she portrayed the Jolly Roger, the ship of Captain Hook, in the TV miniseries Neverland . [3]
