Note 17 — Chapter III · ANCIENT SHIPS OF PHŒNICIA, GREECE, AND ROME.[10]

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.
