Thank you for your comment, Frank. Korean shipbuilding sure has a lot of history, both ancient and recent. I hope I never read the story about how this industry *ended*... :)

This is where South Korean shipbuilding all began. You know the storey of the founder of Hyundai with the Greek
Shipping Company with regards of placing the first contracts for vlcc at Hyundai Ulsan.

The question is if this rigging is authentic at all. Since this is not really a sea going vessel, the sails are probably for the show only.

Cheers

Strange sails rigging system for Far East.
