Far and Away 1992

This Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman pairing has precisely one shot of a miniature ship in it. The ship is a model of a transatlantic steamer filmed out on location in Dublin Bay in Ireland. The model superstructure was built on the hull of a riverboat and outfitted with an engine. 

The special effects supervisor was John Richardson.
