[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.”
