A photo of the Athlit ram (I'd rather prefer a side view, but I've been only able to find out this one on Internet! )<br>
Jasper, The Nemi I ship was sunk near the surface and had suffered badly, specially her bow. Of course, we'll never be sure that a ram like that was attached to the forward end of the keel but it would have been one the first things stolen, even before the ship sank (clear proofs were found that indicated that the ships were been dismantled prior to their wreckage)<br>
The reconstructed lines of Nemi I show a giantic but elongated ship. The images of the recovered wreck show something like a broad, shallow barge but we must keep in mind that only the bottom of the ship survived. Anyway, there was enough information so as to prove that the lines reconstructed by the Italian Navy at the beginning of the forties were esentially correct. I've e-mailed A photo of a model to Jasper and I hope that he'll post it here.<br>
More opinions, please!<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
