Other significant finds from the Nemi ships included the rung In 1929 the first of the two Nemi ships breached the construction of one of the anchors. It is the construction of waters of lake Nemi, seeing the surface of the lake for the first the anchor which is of key importance. The anchor takes the time in centuries. To recover the two ships, a pair of pleasure form of what would now be called an Admiralty Anchor, head ships created under the rule of Caligula, an attempt was made which, as with the ball bearings, had been thought to be a to drain lake Nemi. This proceeded and in 1931 the second more recent invention. Before the discovery of Admiralty ship exceeded the water level as well. Over the course of this balancing ..

  • The Immortal Fausto: the Life, Works, and Ships of the Venetian
    THE IMMORTAL FAUSTO: THE LIFE, WORKS, AND SHIPS OF THE VENETIAN HUMANIST AND NAVAL ARCHITECT VETTOR FAUSTO (1490-1546) A Dissertation by LILIA CAMPANA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cemal Pulak Committee Members, Deborah N. Carlson Kevin Crisman Craig W. Kallendorf Head of Department, Cynthia Werner August 2014 Major Subject: Anthropology ABSTRACT At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the maritime power of the Republic of Venice was seriously threatened by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I in the East, and by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in the West. In order to regain its naval power in the Mediterranean, the Republic of Venice strongly encouraged Venetian shipwrights to submit new designs for war galleys. The undisputed founder and champion of this naval program was not a skilled shipwright but a young professor of Greek in the School of Saint Mark named Vettor Fausto (1490-1546), who in the heat of this renewal programme, proposed “naval architecture” as a new scientia. In 1529, Vettor Fausto built a quinqueremis whose design, he claimed, was based upon the quinquereme “used by the Romans during their wars” and that he had derived the shipbuilding proportions “from the most ancient Greek manuscripts.” The recovery of Classical traditions resulted in major changes in many fields. It included shipbuilding practices as well, especially after Fausto introduced in the Venetian Arsenal a new scientia, that of “naval architecture”, in opposition to the fabrilis peritia, the empirical shipbuilding practice.

Our secondary goal is to locate this evidence within a framework of broader historical developments (trade, commerce, economy, defense, technology, culture).

La risposta positiva e la fervida adesione dei numerosi partecipanti della passata edizione hanno confermato,infatti, l’esigenza di uno spazio di dialogo tra studiosi, professionisti e quanti sono impegnati, a vario titolo e con competenze diverse, nella ricerca, nello sviluppo, nella promozione e nella valorizzazione della cultura marittima e nautica. Dopo il primo incontro del 2014, pertanto, il CNM vuole porsi come appuntamento che, riunendo sensibilità tecnico-scientifiche che operano in contesti tematici differenti, possa contribuire a far conoscere, agli addetti ai lavori e al pubblico vasto, problematiche e argomenti legati alla cultura del mare nella sua accezione più ampia.
