mtaylor Posted August 4, 2020 #2 Posted August 4, 2020 Very interesting indeed. The diversity of cargo and the containers along with the languages is fascinating. druxey and Canute 2 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
Louie da fly Posted August 9, 2020 #3 Posted August 9, 2020 The difference in religion was never a barrier to trade or even to diplomatic relations. The Byzantines, for example, made treaties with their neighbours regardless of religion - Muslim, Zoroastrian etc. It's howyou got along. And of course trade was the same. Whatever turns a profit. That the ship was built shell-first is not a surprise for the 7th century, but the size certainly is - 25 metres! That was a very big ship for the time. The "preserved length" of the 7th century Yenikapi wreck of the merchant ship YK11 (a model of which is currently being built by Woodrat) was only 9 metres. Canute and mtaylor 2 It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
