After a nightmare, Johan Huibers builds a replica of Noah’s ark with four stories tall and as long as a football field.
The ship, which he's been constructing for the past three years, is built to biblical specs.
Johan culled information on the ark's size and shape directly from the good book.
In the end, the ship is four stories high and the length of a football field. And yes, it's seaworthy.
The result is an incredibly impressive ship, especially considering it was realized simply by a man with a dream--or, perhaps, a nightmare.
According to an interview with NBC's "The Today Show," Johan dreamt that Holland suffered a great flood.
The next morning, he woke up determined to start preparing for that worst-case scenario.
The ship, which is not to be confused with the theme park in Kentucky that also honors Noah's ark, is generating a lot of interest in the search box.
Over the past 24 hours, online lookups for "noah's ark photos" and "noah's ark real ship" have surged.
Johan Huibers said the master plan is to sail the ship up the Thames in time for the London Olympics next year.
Expect to see plenty of life-size plastic animals aboard (two of each type, of course).
