Dutch carpenter builds full-scale replica of Noah's Ark
and he plans to sail it up the Thames for the Olympics (Daily Mail)
Um....any animals on "Johan's Ark"?A Dutch creationist is putting the finishing touches on a full-size replica of Noah's Ark, which he has built according to a blueprint set out in the Bible.
Johan Huibers spent three years and more than £1.03million constructing the gigantic wooden boat - and now has his sights set on sailing it up the Thames for the Olympics.

much more, with pictures and a "How long was a cubit?" sidebar, at link aboveAnd though it may not be able to shelter two of every animal, as the original story dictates, it can hold 1,500 people - not to mention a menagerie of life-size plastic creatures including giraffes, elephants and donkeys, as well as a few live chickens.
