Not even one of the biggest ships of the period, naval ensigns back then were just that massive!

I can imagine what this would look like restored - thinking, golden golds, and royal burgundy reds, but does anyone have any idea what it actually look like?? Computer concept, please

Historical Artifacts

!historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Create post

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
