BTW, how do you "sew" planks together with rope? As opposed to tying them together, I mean. Serious question -- I wish they'd included a diagram or something.

And how are they sure about the rope? Wouldn't it have disintegrated over a few hundred years?

It really is amazing how little I know about ship-building, I guess! :(

Ancient peoples knew full well that you learn from experience. The credo of experimental shipbuilders was, “If they drown, they drown.”
