Color photo of a dramatically darkened exhibit hall of a ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’ exhibit at Mystic Seaport, Mystic CT. A walk-through model of Captain Nemo’s Nautilus features a horse with the hind quarters of a fish — mermaid style — riding a long cylindrical prow jutting from the hull. The hull of the Nautilus is matte black, about child-height and about twice as wide, like a horizontally stretched cylinder. To the right of the prow is a large circular window — almost the height of the hull — circled by a bright blue ring of light. Behind the Nautilus, a brightly lit fluorescent orange giant squid hangs from the ceiling of the exhibit hall.
