See a replica of Noah's ark in the Netherlands

This 3,000 ton full scale replica of Noah's ark is to travel from the Netherlands to Brazil this summer.

The ark is 29 meters wide, 125 meters long and 7 storeys high. It was built by a Dutch carpenter who spent years building it, as described in the Bible book of Genesis. It was built as a religious attraction and has been open since 2012, attracting thousands of visitors.

The fully functioning replica is to cross the Atlantic ocean, a
5000 mile journey. It is expected to be in Brazil for two years, docking accross ports in Brazil and raising money for Christian charity.
