| Those Renaissance guys were incredible  Look at this boat. It is a cat on one side, a monohull on the other. I am trying to understand the Latin inscription, I think it talks about a new form of propulsion (that one should interest Guillermo). Tomorrow I will try to make some sense of it. |

| I suppose you saw the english label of the plate, "Lever driven ship with bifurcated hull". The right hand image is a sternview, the left image is the driver, how it works I don't have a clue. I think this is a discription of the plate...Prop. LX Declaratio 60 figura http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect...-_1Page32.html |
