From the text at the bottom of the painting, I believe it is a proposal for salvaging a sunk British ship. But even though I can read the text, I still have a hard time understanding what is said.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-5304893675773875862013-04-04T18:08:25.223-08:002013-04-04T18:08:25.223-08:00Richard, very interesting marine museum.

In this area we have a number of marine museums, but all recounting travel on the great lakes.<br />The painting is interesting, the submerged ship appears larger than the two on the surface - do you suppose the British? (I can't really make out the flags) were planning a salvage operation of a Spanish galleon?VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-22768257765227139912013-04-04T15:25:04.752-08:002013-04-04T15:25:04.752-08:00I had also built a lot of those plastic kits and ...I had also built a lot of those plastic kits and I can't imagine carving the individual pieces.

I'll bet they were trying to lift up the sunken ship. The anchors are to make sure the platform doesn't move. Notice the masts between the two galleons. but then again . . . who knows ?<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-88897236398951608102013-04-04T08:34:43.644-08:002013-04-04T08:34:43.644-08:00In some cases, the model builders were French pris...In some cases, the model builders were French prisoners during the Napoleanic War, and if they had the skills and experience, it was a good way to pass the time.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-44852402264371022842013-04-04T07:55:08.694-08:002013-04-04T07:55:08.694-08:00Were they trying to raise a sunken ship in that ph...Were they trying to raise a sunken ship in that photo.
