Pietro Francisci's Films: Ships!

Ships, ships, ships! Pietro Francisci's films almost always had a ship or two or a bunch in them. Most were models and were beautifully rendered. PEPLUM films being a close cousin to Swashbucklers, it's not surprising that they're often featured with sea-faring heroes like Jason or Sinbad.
