I had never noticed that any footage was reused in the Dawn Treader portion of the BBC programs. Next time I watch it I'll look for it. I thought the sea serpent didn't look very real and reminded me of a leftover prop from a school play. Were they putting their swords through rubber when the monster was on the ship's deck. The storm looked like the water was sprayed in with a garden hose. The effects were poorly done in that scene, but the story adaptation of Dawn Treader was quite close to the book, as was those of the other BBC Narnia movies.

I always liked the ship that was used-- it seemed very much like one in the book. Does anyone know if it was built as a replica of another antique vessel or was it created for the BBC series? Quite a few years ago a replica of Columbus' ship, the Nina was docked in Lake Macatawa in Holland, Mich. When I toured it I remembered thinking, "This ship may have been like the Dawn Treader". I always wondered what it would have been like to cross the ocean in a wooden sailing ship. Perhaps a more risky voyage than if it were done with a cruise ship, but more adventurous too.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
