The only operational element of the ship that could rightfully be called a prop was the ship's wheel, which had originally been constructed by MGM's prop department in the 1930s for the Clark Gable version of "Mutiny on the Bounty" and was used in a number of other swashbucklers in the 1950s. It was installed on the 1960 ship by the studio as a nod to that history.
