Amazing. I think any old ship would have loved half the instruments this recreation has in their time - would have saved a lot of shipwrecks! And it's a testament to those who built her and built her for such a noble purpose. What a treat it would be to actually be on board whilst she was sailing as well!
Training on this vessel must be an unreal experience for a young cadet. In ancient Japan, people used to get executed for traveling abroad. Now, they willingly send their sailing ambassadors to extend a hand in friendship. It was a fantastic sight.
