Chapter 21: Drawings Of The Ship

Later, I discussed the ships structure with Fatty. We drew a lot of sketches and felt that there would be problems with the overall structure since the ship was so huge. It was impossible for a ship this size to sail, which was why we felt that it functioned more as a huge tomb than an actual seafaring ship.

The biggest problem with such a huge wooden boat was the keel. There wasnt a tree in the world big enough to make the keel of this ship, so they must have combined different woods to form it. If that was the case, then this structure was very intriguing, and we would need sonar to determine whether the ship was actually this huge, a little smaller, or not that shape at all.

If this kind of warship existed at that time, it could provide artillery support along the shore as soldiers swarmed out. Who could stop them?

It was a pity that this giant vessel in the Ming Dynasty eventually became the tomb of the shipbuilder. I didnt know if it was ironic or sad.
