		The term museum ship is used for an old ship that has been preserved and converted into a museum open to the public.
		A ship replica may also be a generic replica, one that represents a certain type of ship rather than a particular historic example, like the Kamper Kogge, replicating the Cogs that were used extensively in Northern Europe by the Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages, but where there is little knowledge of specific ships.
		Replicas can be temporary, cheap and very simple, such as the replica of a Viking ship that was burnt at the Leixlip Festival.

	Crew trains to sail replica Jamestown ship - Boston.com
		The ship's first stop will be Saturday in Alexandria, and later, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Newport, R.I. The ship will be accompanied by a free "Landing Party" with live performances, and at each port, the Godspeed's crew will dress in historical costume.
		While the ship is in "museum mode," modern navigational equipment and amenities such as a shower will be hidden to preserve the 17th-century atmosphere.
		Because there are no known illustrations or blueprints of the Godspeed or its sister ships, the ship was built based on the design of other early 17th century ships and documentation that the original Godspeed could carry 40 tons of cargo and passengers.

	Introduction to the Replica
		The community foundation constructed the ship at a cost of $3.7 million to help tell the little known story of Australia's first recorded European visitors and to counter two of Australia's popular historical myths: that Dirck Hartog was the first European to step ashore in Australia and that Captain Cook "discovered" Australia.
		Once the ship was completed, the search began for a crew with the skills to sail a 400-year old Dutch tall ship design.
		Since a ship of this type had not been constructed for 350 years, the Duyfken Foundation looked to Australia's pool of tall ship sailors or people who could adapt to life on such a primitive vessel.
