The new picture of the dawn treader is the best.The best angel now we know what the ship will look like.

The ship is breathtaking. Even when it looked like a carnival ride in pieces I still adored it. The only reservation I had was the shade of red added to the color palette. Without knowing the shade of the purple sail (back when we weren't sure if it would have the sail at all!) it was hard to visualize the overall outcome, but these recent pictures with the sail in the wind put those to rest. The colors, design, everything about the ship is beautiful.

caboo29: I also hope that they don't dismantle the ship after production. I want to see it in person so badly.

I love the design of the sail it looks cool. Although I can't really tell what it is yet. I also love the look of the ship.

It's gorgeous. I am happy.

Originally, I didn't really like what I had seen. I felt like the head was a bit... cartoonish, in a way. almost like something you would ride at an amusement park. Then, I saw the sides of the ship, and thought the same thing. Then the sail came on, and that made it a little better. And then I saw this picture:

and now, I'm happy. Can't wait to see how it looks on screen!

The Ship Looks amazing....
im speechless literally

What's up with the design on the sail? It's very odd. I want a golden lion's head (Aslan).

It appears to be a larg "N". Perhaps it's some sort of Narnian crest, symbol, or logo?

I think it would of been better if there were a lion on the sail but never mind.

I like it. It is so funny, I thought they don´t built so a big ship. I love the little ornaments and the winow. But I think it is to much for kids.

I'm not sure what you mean by being 'too much for kids'. Kids know what they want. They don't want second best.

I like the ship much better now that's its pretty much finished. It really changed in look from the first few pictures.

I'm still not a big fan of the sail. (The sail still looks blue to me--on both our moniters--but like someone pointed it, it could also be my definition of "purple".) I don't like the design so much. It doesn't seem to "go" with the ship.

I've kind of lost track of the amount of photos available out there on the internet (i gave up trying to save them all to my harddrive long ago). But i saw something in a photo today which i had for some reason never spotted before - the boats name plaque on the back of the ship:

I guess its something i should of fully expected to see on a boat of this type, but for some reason it surprised me to see it. Anyway, i just thought it was kind of cool.

It was from this set of 193 photos on flickr:

In that photo stream there are also some close up pictures of the mast, which show that there is an inscription around it, about head-height of the crew. The visible part of which reads "...we give thanks to the crew of the..." or something like that

There is also a picture of the Dawn Treaders long oars, on a different Flickr photostream somewhere. Can't wait to see them in use!

EDIT: Oars are here:

EDIT 2: I've pieced together a bit more of the mast inscription: ... with grateful hearts may we give thanks to the crew of the mighty....

Well, I have to recant my opinion that the ship looks cartoony. It's very gilded for sure, but the overall design works really really well. I love it, think it will work well in this movie, and I love the excitement it's generating.

But i saw something in a photo today which i had for some reason never spotted before - the boats name plaque on the back of the ship:

I was just coming about this,
I have a question I am not sure has been asked before:
The name is Dawn Treader, if you all remember the logo released some time ago it read:

Voyage of The Dawn Treader,

can I assume then that they are going to change the title of the movie to the proper name: Voyage of the Dawn Treader
