Our team examined all pertinent maritime laws and undertook a comprehensive review of harbour movements, pier loading conditions, and best-practice safety guidelines. Interviews with local experts facilitated determining cost estimates for vessel purchase, maintenance, typhoon sheltering, and fendering. A team survey estimated the price the public is willing to pay to see such an exhibit and determined that a tall ship or junk were the most popular options. It was concluded that exhibition feasibility is highly dependent on current uncertainties over a set of technical, market, and financial conditions."; "Worcester Polytechnic Institute"; "Museum exhibits", "Museum exhibits--Evaluation"; "Community", "Culture", "Infrastructure", "Sustainability"; "2011-03-03"; "2011"; "2019-12-05T23:52:31.830496271+00:00"^^; "E-project-030311-080046"; ; "Interactive Qualifying Project"; "Hong Kong, China Project Center - IQP"; ; ; "http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"; ; ; "This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement.
