No.20: Prows (prahus) of great swifftnesse

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Prowes of greatt Swifftnesse. Here are some prowes of such exceeding swiffttnesse in a gale of wind thatt it [is] allmost incredible, a man standing to windward to Keepe her upprightt, thatt the Crossebarres com nott much into the water. For the outer barres of all are to keepe her from oversetting, which shee would otherwise bee subject unto, beeing soe long and narrow to beare such a saile, which is allsoe the Cause of her swifft Motion. I say her greatt length and soe little breadth with a saile soe unproportionably wide.[1]
