Beyond being impressed with the year, it almost means nothing to Jolie. History doesn't span far back in her books, so it's difficult to even imagine a life where all of this is removed. Admittedly, her attention span isn't terribly good either, so he almost loses her somewhere in the explanation.
It's probably his enthusiasm that keeps her interest hinged on him, her smile becoming placid as he sways his hands around and explains. "Someday, someone is gonna love me as much as you love that ship." She arches her brows at him in amusement, because it certainly isn't the first time she's heard about that boat. "What's so good about it, anyway? Is it just a really big ship? The biggest ship?" Because it being big clearly infers it's value, but Jolie can sort of understand the attachment to it. Maybe. She can see why he'd have such fond memories of something he loves back home, even if she's not entirely convinced that it isn't actually a codeword for a lover.
