What would it cost to build a real live working and authentic galleon from the 17th-18th century? |
Travel Info I'm looking for a way to build a real replica of an authentic, or near authentic, sailing ship like a galleon. What would the cost be to re-create a ship from wood, and to maintain it, and operate it on the high seas. Who builds those kinds of ships? It should be of the 17th to 18th century style of ship, with all the rigging. Where do I find a crew to operate it? Travel Tips A replica of the Endeavour, the ship in which James Cook discovered the east coast of Australia, cost AU$17,000,000 (US$12,000,000) to build. It costs around AU$2-3,000,000 to run each year. Source(s): http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/05/2... Other Travel Tips that would cost a fortune. But good luck. put out on the web your doing it and people will volenter. but thats a sh*t laod of wood so it will cost a fortune. modles at 1:10000th of a size are cheaper. and you can sail em on ponds! You'd have to find actual plans for one and outline the type of wood used and then price it out at good woodland Do'it Centre. A full construction cost report details the projected costs of a project. These construction cost estimates include everything from actual building materials to labor, machinery, and transportation. Some of the costs will be relatively stable, such as the hourly rate for a laborer performing a particular job. Others, like fuel prices and rental fees for unusual equipment, can vary greatly between projects; these are the types of expenses that make a thorough and accurate construction estimate mandatory. Information and effective construction estimating software are essentials in creating accurate cost reports. To be safe you should plan on spending between $10 and $350,000. When I needed to crew a 17th century replica pirate ship, I looked to no other than Disney World - the pay there sucks, and best of all they already have the uniforms and the accents. Tough to beat!! You'll need at least 2 to 5 million dollars for design, materials and skilled labour. You'll find the only people who specialise in these ships are working in colleges or engineering schools. Professional crews are expensive these days, skippers for the larger yachts get about 1.5 mill per year... About 16 would be the minimum number to crew a large ship, you're looking at 3+ mill per year. I hope you won the lotto recently! |
