From another, this time rather negative review of that Star Trek Adventure thing the Brits have stolen from this continent, there's a surprising little gem:
"There were various LCARS displays on the walls (my favourite being the Wolf 359 tactical deployment)"

What the... is this something that Mike Okuda made back in 1990 or something made for this exhibit?

Hmm... something tells me that this person is talking about a DS9 Dominion War display. It seems pretty odd we wouldn't have heard about it from Okuda or anyone by now...
But then again, didn't Mojo say that he was working on Wolf 359 stuff for Unseen Frontier? Maybe it's more salvaged material.

Is it possible at all that he might be referring to this list from a plaque (?) or something that Spike talked about waaaay back when he first joined the board? That was before my time, but I remember reading about it at some point...

He mentioned Wolf 359, and I doubt he would have remembered that name if there wasn't a small sign next to the Okudagram saying "Wolf 359 display" or something. This excludes any Dominion War or Tachyon Grid Display (assuming the guys who are responsible for the exhibition didn't mess things up).

The guy must have been blind to have missed the rather large Enterprise section.
Yes, there was a large Okudagram with a Wolf 359 display. Yes, I think it was the one that had been seen at the earlier exhibitions which is why I didn't mention it in my earlier round up of what was there. It was a sort of memorial to lost Starfleet vessels. Down the left hand side were ships like the Yamato and Stargazer with dates and details of how they were lost. Top right was a tactical display that was just some lines and arrows swooping around - totally uniformative. Bottom right was a three column list of ships lost at Wolf 359, the first column was mainly the ships we know about and the second and third columns were those made up for this display and as far as I can remember they were accuratly listed in the old thread already referenced.

Are these ships 'official', or do they fall into the same category assigned to ships mentioned in computer games, card games, and the like?

^ Well this hasn't been seen in an actual episode, so it probably does fall into the semi-canon encyclopedia footnote type area.

That's what I thought when I read it. The guy spends a paragraph complaining about some credit card charge and then moans about seeing props and costumes in an exhibit of props and costumes. Clueless.

Clueless.
