The boat
Ancientdogma posted was an illustrative example of a particular style of boat that they may have used to create the Dawn Treader Row Boats (
see #6.1 on Page 1) just as they used a particular style of Australian Surf Boat (
see here) for creating the Lone Island fishing boats (
see here). Thanks for the photos by the way Ancientdogma
Interestingly, i'm still no closer to understanding the conundrum of the Dawn Treader Row Boats - i.e. where exactly are they supposed to be stored aboard the Dawn Treader? The first trailer did reveal that the ship has some sort of lift mechanism for getting the crew from the deck level down to the waters edge, so that makes sense - but there is still no sign of the actual rowboats. The second trailer even had a nice wide-shot of the main ship deck, yet there was not a single rowboat to be seen being stored anywhere. Quite odd.
