Lol, for sure. But, I’m wondering where the timber came from for all these ships. I’m guessing trees of any decent size had long been cut down. Was timber transported from interior of Africa? Or, Northern Europe maybe? Wondering....
I can’t say for certain but at one time Syria and other lands on the northern shores of the Mediterranean had huge forests. Up river on the Nile is a good possibility too. The river would have made a perfect highway for rafting timber down.
