Salve! We need your help! We want to build a Roman ship, Libourne, but we do not have her exact plans. Help me, please!

Well, you better visit the 'Museum fur antike Schiffart' in Mainz and get the scientific publications by Ronald Bockius as a start.

.... two further projects spring to my mind:
1. The "mother of all lusoria projects" at the Regensburg University (Prof.Dr.Hoeckmann; Prof. Schäfer et al)
http://books.google.de/books?id=G0AjqbZu...ne&f=false
I think cajusbeerquitius/Christian should know a number of participants here personally,
--if I'm not too wrong. (>Regensburg!!)
2. The Germersheim project with Professor Schäfer
here: (2nd and last project from top)

3. I'm not sure whether there was a Hamburg lusoria project with Prof.Dr. Schäfer involved.
Hope this helped.

Byron, you should do a search in the UK then. I know there is a team somewhere near Dover with serious ideas to rebuilt a ship for the classis brittanicae.

Jurjen,

Give us a clue! I've identified a boat builder near where I live who built these boats for the Robin Hood film.





Funding it is another issue though.......

Jurjen, Give us a clue!

As Paul says , thanks for the info Jurjen,
But funding will be the deciding factor!

There sre more pics on the link above the photo.
They took it out of the water.

Some of the guys in our group know the people who run this thing so I can try and get more info on it if you want.

I can also translate the German if needed.

I have to say that Rams head on the boat is just Fantastic.
