I especially liked this sentence:
"these Venetians had large rowing ships, galleys, carrying over 100 rowers,
which were produced in large numbers and used extensively for centuries;"

The mothers of these rowers must have been indeed priceless, producing such
valuable and long-lived sons.

If they had SketchUp, they would never have floated.

Didn't need a domino, but damn, if they had Sketchup...

Can you imagine the Venetians drawing up a boat on a hunk of granite?
