Shattered Glass Ops Assignment

                           A Dutch man named Johan Huibers who lives in the Netherlands, is almost done building a life size replica of Noah’s arch. It started in 1992, when Huibers had a dream about a real flood. "I saw the Netherlands disappearing under an enormous mass of water, comparable with the tsunami in Southeast Asia," he has said. "The next day, I found a book about Noah's Ark in the local bookshop, and since then, my dream has been to build the ark."

             He started work in 2005 on his ark using modern tools but doing all the building himself except for occasional help from his son. Before he began work on his full-scale replica, he made another ark also based on Noah’s Ark but smaller, and sold it so all his attention could be focused on the life size replica.

             The ship will be ready for visitors and people to see most likely in May of 2011. Then beginning in 2012, Johan will take his ark around the world to show this amazing achievement to others.
