    Indian Journal of History of Science, 44.4 (2009) 551-567 STABLE-SHIPS OF TIRUPPUDAIMARUDUR AND TIRUKKURUNKUDI (SOUTH INDIA)* JEAN DELOCHE** (Received 13 October 2008) In the district of Tirunelveli, South India, two works of art provide some significant information bearing on Indian nautical technology. The first one is found in the gopura of boat anchored in a harbour; the second one decorates the gateway of the Tirukkurunkudi temple with a relief which shows a ship disembarking horses and elephants. Though not strictly accurate, both the painting and carving are of an exceptional importance since they are the unique representations of the stable-ships which, for centuries, plied in the western part of the Indian Ocean, the first one coming from the Persian Gulf, the other, from the Red Sea. It is certain that these documents will be used by scholars to illustrate the fascinating history of horse trade from the Near East to India during the Medieval period. Key words: Boat, Persian Gulf, , Red Sea, Ship, Technology. INTRODUCTION The representations of ancient boats and ships in India are not numerous: some images on seals from the Harappan period, engravings on bas-reliefs and coins, from the 2nd century BC to the 7th century AD, Ajanta paintings (6th century) (Deloche 1996, pp. 199-224), carvings on memorial stones from the 11th-15th century (Deloche 1987, pp. 164-184), a few Rajput or Mughal miniatures (Verma 1978, pp. 109-11, pl.
