Here’s the longboat (which someone linked to later in the thread):

And a bit more about it, from the BBC:
“The ship was painstakingly glued together by former Hollywood stuntman Robert McDonald and two friends – a job that took two years.

He hopes to sail the 15m (50ft) ship across the Atlantic.”
