They’ve gone and done it. They’ve added more ropes to the Dawn Treader. Not only that, but in these pictures, at least toward the bottoms of the ropes, they look very purple. I’m not sure if they only look that way in these pictures because of the light, but if you look at the super-hi-res versions of them at the source, you’ll see that the rope does turn color at a certain point. This could either be due to shadows moving, or the ropes could actually be purple. But why does this matter? The ship has a purple sail. Not only that, but we also have a good view of the Helm for the first time, where the ship will be steered from. It is massive.
These pictures come from Narnia Fans Spy David Jackmanson. Check out his Flickr account for much larger versions, as well as new pictures he’ll be adding from time to time. And a big thanks to David for sending us the link to his Flickr account and tweeting us directly about them all.
It gets better and better!
loving the wheel! Ifyou look closely, it has a lion’s head on it!
Thanks for the write up and comments again! I’ll keep the pics coming – filming is supposed to start in just over a week or so, so I’m guessing it can’t be too long till the sail is on.
Thanks for the pics, David! It’s fantastic to see so many lovely details – I imagine you’ll find some time to see the filming (am jealous!).
