Core77 Articles: Sally Slevin - Burning Man Designed for Smooth Sailing or Rough Seas at Burning Man

by Sally Slevin

Rising out of the Black Rock Desert at Burning Man appears a 40-foot long Spanish galleon. Without a drop of water within hundreds of miles and sitting silently on the desert playa, I?m reminded of a present day scene from ?Mad Max?.

Instead of a story about the Road Warrior though, this is a story of how an engineer designed a half-scale, historically accurate Spanish galleon so that it could be built in less than six months.
