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
Good point. If the prop department managed to get it right on the ship's name plaque, it hopefully means the logo department got the memo about the correct formatting of the title/name for the logo and such.

Lewis didnt just put the "the" in the title to make it sound better, he did it because that is the correct way to refer to a ship. For example, with the Titanic. Its correct name is just "Titanic" or "RMS Titanic", but in a sentence you would refer to it as "the Titanic" (with a lower case 't' on the). Thus the famous incident involving the ship would be, (in the form of a title) "The Sinking of the Titanic".
The same would apply for the ship HMS Bounty, in which the famous incident involving it would be refered to as (again in the form of a title) "The Mutiny on the Bounty" (which incidently is also a film)

.....A miniature Dawn Treader.I wonder if they have little people on it.
Hahah. Its a shame its not painted. That would be an awesome collectible to have at home.
Its also a shame it doesnt have a mast on it. One of the few big mysteries remaining about the look of the Dawn Treader is what the top half of the mast and sails will look like. Would of been very telling if that model had included all the CGI elements of the ship on it, but i guess we will have to wait some time longer for our first look at the top of the mast/sail.
Kylie also added some new photos of the ship to her flickr photostream today. Although we've seen pretty much all there is to see from Cleveland point, these are kind of cool in that they are long shots from across the water. I particuarly like the little scafolding platform they've built out in the water. It looks really cool. haha.

There is also a good look at the flag on the rear mast. In total, including the design of the sail, and the ones seen on the rowboats, i think there are 5 or so Dawn Treader flag desings to be spotted.

1. Yellow triangular flag with red detailing (above)
2. Red and white quartered flag, with white diagonal stripe, and green detailing (also seen on rowboats)
3. Green and white chequered flag (possibly a trianglular flag) with yellow parts
4. Mint green flag with yellow border and yellow design in centre (seen on rowboats)
5. Purple Sail with yellow design!
