Somehow she looks better than before, is that possible ?
Let's hope she stays in place this time

The most interesting it sais is "Search the monky"    (it really sais that, I personally find that a great add to the description, interactivity in the museum    )

Translating the whole story would be quite a lot of work.
First there's something about the build (started in may 2009, finished october 2010) and where the bricks came from.
Secondly there's something about the design, and on which real ships I based the Vesta.
Then there's only a description about all the stuff you can see happening on the deck and in the masts.
And finally "search the monkey"   This was the only part that wasn't written by myself, but I guess it's nice for children

She could look slightly better. I changed the headrails.
First they were made of yellow 1x2 plates, now I used hoses.
And for this display I also took in all the main sails.
Outside of that there are no significant changes.

Thanks for the comments! The topic has over a hundred now

Insane how much effort you put in the interior and little details like the captain's cabin, the ship bell etc.

Would it be ok, if i steal the idea of the ship painting in the cabin? :P

No problem, some of those details like the ships bell were "stolen" by me as well
Some credit would be nice of course, though not neccesary on such a small detail.
