The Dawn Treader nearly ready for its Sail!

Wow, you get really busy filming videos and pictures come in from all over the web.  Narnia Fans Spy Kylie wrote to us earlier this week with some new pictures of the Dawn Treader, with a huge set of ropes and hooks attached at the top.  It’s looking like they’re preparing to use the part of the mast that they’ve included on the ship, very shortly, to attach a sail.  Based on the size of the ship and the height of the mast, it looks like the overall mast will be much much taller in the final film, which will make for a breathtakingly beautiful Dawn Treader.  It’s a technique that was used in Pirates of the Caribbean as well as Master and Commander and other such films with ships such as these.
