[10] For some valuable matter regarding Greek and Roman ships I wish
to acknowledge my indebtedness to the following, especially the first
two of these:
“Ancient Ships,” by Cecil Torr, Cambridge, 1894.
“Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romanes,” by Ch. Daremberg
(article under “Navis,” by Cecil Torr), Paris, 1905.
“A Companion to Greek Studies,” by L. Whibley, Cambridge, 1905. (See
article on “Ships,” by A. B. Cook, p. 475 _et seq._)
[11] “The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries
of the English Nation,” by Richard Hakluyt. Preface to the second
edition.
[12] Even still more wonderful and more to the point, as having
sailed to the entrance of the Mediterranean, is the passage of the
_Columbia II._, a tiny ship only 19 feet long with 6 feet beam.
Navigated solely by Capt. Eisenbram, she sailed from Boston, U.S.A.,
to Gibraltar, encountering severe weather on the way, in 100 days.
(See the _Times_ newspaper of November 21, 1903.)
[13] An illustration of this will be found in “Pompeji in Leben und
Kunst,” by August Mau, Leipzig, 1908.
[14] A model of this ship is to be seen in the Louvre. See “Musée
Rétrospectif de la Classe 33. Matériel de la Navigation de Commerce à
l’Exposition Universelle Internationale de 1900, à Paris. Rapport du
Comité d’Installation.”
[15] “Ancient Ships,” by Cecil Torr, Cambridge, 1894.
[16] “Lazari Bayfii annotationes ... de re navali.” Paris, 1536.
[17] See “Caligula’s Galleys in the Lake of Nemi,” by St. Clair
Baddeley, article in the _Nineteenth Century and After_, March,
1909; also “Le Navi Romane del Lago di Nemi,” by V. Malfatti, Rome,
1905, which gives an interesting account, with illustrations, of
the finding of these galleys, as well as an excellent plan of one
of the ships of Caligula as far as she has been explored. She has a
rounded stern and pointed bow. An ingenious pictorial effort is made
to reconstruct the galley afresh. The book contains photographs of
the floats, showing the shape of the boat, and of some of the chief
relics recovered in 1895.
