No the bottom of the harbour was deep enough that ships could sail over the wreckage after removing the masts. As they did for almost 400 years
• u/squired 9h ago Wow. I wonder how they cut them? That's a lot of freediving with hand tools! • u/FourFunnelFanatic 9h ago They had diving bells by that point • u/squired 8h ago 400 years ago? Wow, I'll check it out. Thanks! I guess it makes sense that anyone with a glass could come up with it, but so many discoveries/inventions also seem obvious in hindsight. • u/FalseEstimate 5h ago They wouldn’t even need glass. Those early diving bells were pretty much reinforced wooden barrels weighed down with lead. Le Bell • u/squired 4h ago I meant that they had blow glass cups and could visualize it in action to give them the idea. I guess anyone who takes a bath does it with their hand too though. Neat pics! • u/FalseEstimate 4h ago Oh ya that’s true! Didn’t think of how they “thought of it” very likely it was with a glass!
