ABOUT THE SHIP:
According to the sailors' lore, The Refanu was the largest ship ever to sail the seas. A man needed three weeks to run from stern to stern, so orders had to be carried by horseback. Indeed The Refanu was so huge that it took a century to tack or change direction, and two to hoist anchor.
