here had any input? </DIV>

<P>It can’t really be. The Whorl is a hollowed out asteroid, and has no
sails. The Ship has symmetric decks and sails. And the interior
descriptions do not match at all.
<P>Also the Whorl’s life is limited. After 300 years it is still
functional but not in great condition.
