Talk:Ship replica

message: As the list is growing I would suggest to rankorder the replicas building dat of the original rather than current location. That way we see what bits of maritime history are now under investigation (e.g. Anc Egypt Ra2; 17th century, a number of VOC ships, etc). And which time periods are not represented. How do you think about that?Arnoutf 12:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for starting to work on this, I hope I may be able to contribute too. One thing to think about -- is it better now to move the list / table to a new page e.g. List of ship replicas as is done with other articles to avoid it becoming overlong ? --mervyn 12:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  May be a good idea; to move it to a list page. In that case we may want to expand the current intro of Ship Replica though. Arnoutf 14:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

text:  I meant the contracter of the original ship  (to show the shift in seapower over the centuries), but to be honest I can see the term is ambiguous, if you have a better idea please feel free to change; or perhapcs even delete the whole column and only leave original country, easier to maintain as well.

thread_title:  Order Ships 

message: I think there is a slight bias towards the ships of the 1600–1700's.
I will try to add some ships of different era (e.g. Viking longships) to give a more extensive overview of the replcias all over the history of shipping.
e.g. from

Help is welcome Arnoutf 09:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a strong suspicion that any such bias in the list will be a result of a bias in the choosing of ships to replicate. There will be more from the era of first European exploration of the oceans and subsequent growth in size. After that, ships got more efficient, but if you want an efficient ship it makes more sense to build a modern one. DirkvdM 07:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  True but there are at least several more from the Viking age; didn't have time to chase those so far though. Arnoutf 08:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bias for renaissance/enlightenment vessels 

message: I decided to order the ships in the new table format on year of construction rather than Alphabetical (name giving being a fairly arbitrary way of ordering ships). The ordering by building year has several advantages. (1) The development of ship types over time is easily followed byseeing the ship type column evolve. (2) The rise (and fall) of naval powers is easily followed by seeing country flags appear and disappear over time in that column; the same goes for the rise and fall of enterprises. These two bits of (IMHO) interesting information on the flow of history is lost by ordering the ships alphabetically. I think, the small benefit of quick lookup does not weigh against that.

replies: text: Would seem to be a good idea -- not much point making a list just by ship name, because that can be found from the Category list. (Although at the moment there is no Ship replica category!!!). Though having said that, a simple list A-Z is still useful, because it points up the red links, like the List of museum ships. Another point is to think carefully before you embark on creating an elaborate list -- the more info and formatting in the list, the more difficult it is to maintain and to keep synched with the info in the Ship's own articles. --mervyn 13:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Order of Ships in new table 

message: On :nl:Ark van Johan a new replica of the Ark of Noah is discussed. It also includes a replica in Maryland, USA. Could these be included in this article? Wiki-uk 17:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Would be fine with me, although it is built on conjecture rather than the original plans. Arnoutf 07:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ark of Noah replica's 

message: Brig Amity – in Albany, Western Australia.
Buffalo – near Glenelg in Adelaide, South Australia.
Adventure World, an amusement park in Perth also has a ride called "Bounty's Revenge".  Although how much the ride actually resembles the actual Bounty is up for debate.

thread_title:  A couple more Aussie replicas 

message: HMB Endevour replica should be added, built Fremantle, Western Australia, launched 1993, home port now Darling Harbour, Sydney, New South Wales.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.107.10 (talk) 10:10, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is Endeavour listed twice?  I assume only one replica has been built. If no one responds, I will delete the second listing. HowardMorland (talk) 15:49, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  How could this be missed? 

message: I've added in the two replica ships now at the Boston Tea Party Museum but I have a dilemma about the flags.  Both sailed under there Red Ensign as members of the British Merchany Marine but were both actually owned by American colonial enterprises.  What flag do I put in the Country column?
