This is Ken Ham, and kids visit the Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky for free.
The ark was a massive wooden vessel. Would such a ship float? Well, with the right design the ark would have no problems floating for just five months.
Ancient cultures used to build huge wooden ships that successfully floated. Actually, as recently as the early twentieth century there was a wooden schooner, The Wyoming, in use. Now, skeptics often bring up The Wyoming to say the ark could never have floated because this wooden ship twisted in the water and sank.
What they don’t tell you is that this ship transported coal for fourteen years before it sank!
History shows us properly designed wooden ships certainly float.
