A visit to a galleon Neptune. It is actually a replica built between 1984 and 1985 Pirates, Roman Polanski’s film. It was actually more expensive the set ever built (8 million dollars for a film that did not please the audience) They did it in shipyards Tunisia unpretentious realism because its measures are significantly higher than those of the galleons of the time it develops the argument, 1680.
