I'd hate to have one chasing me down, looks very menacing. Nice car collection as well!

This somehow reminds me of a movie. Hm.. The Admiral: Roaring Currents

Mike Szwarc Author
Thanks for looking, guys! Treehugger, The Admiral: Roaring Currents is about the conflict where this ship would have been used, If such a ship actually existed. There are no contemporary drawings of the geobukseon, only a couple of vague written descriptions of it. This model is of a scaled down speculative recreation of a turtle ship on display at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul.

All the shipwright traditions from the old days were passed down orally. The word-of-mouth drawings and the last turtle ships were destroyed during the period of Japanese colonial era. Only a few contemporary fishing han-seon, which was a traditional Korean ship, survived after independent. Some ships were rebuilt by old ship carpenters, and they were academically restored. Unfortunately, all the military han-seon, including the turtle ship and pan-ok seon, weren't. We have only superficial details, such as painting by artists or list of supplies for the military ships, and they are not enough to restore the ships academically.
