Dawn Treader Helm Official Facebook Fan page

November 25, 2009 – Today Paul Martin, who is the webmaster at NarniaFans.com, filed his first official movie blog entry in a planned series of exclusive news reports direct from the set of the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

These will not be the kinds of canned pieces you’d find on “traditional” outlets. Instead, you’ll be getting unfiltered reports from and about the filmmakers, as they work tirelessly to bring all the magic of C.S. Lewis’ beloved story and characters to the big screen.

Paul’s “Chronicles of Narnia” Facebook page is now the official fan page for the movie.

The first report is by Ernie Malik, publicist for the movie. He writes about the inscription at the base of the mast. The inscription serves a dual purpose.

The first purpose is to add a bit of “authenticity” to the ship, even though the inscription will never be shown close up in the movie. The words are the dedication of the ship by King Caspian in honor of those who built the ship for him: “All Narnians, with grateful hearts may we give thanks to the crew of the mighty Dawn Treader for their strong minds and artisan hands”

The second purpose is to recognize all the hard work put into designing and building the ship set for the film.
