D—12 THE EV. DRAINED LAKE ENDS ANCIENT- MYSTERY Moldy Remains of Two Ro- man. Ships of 1,800 Years z Ago Revealed. By Cabre to The Star. ROME, November 13.—The mystery which surrounded the two ships of Caligula, sunk for 1,800 years in the little volcanic lake of Nemi, near Rome, 1s now completely solved. The first ship was brought completely to light by the lowering of the level of the little lake 18 months ago, and it ! was even carefully hauled farther up the shore into a shed which served as a museum. Now the second ship has also been entirely exposed by further lowering of the level of the lake, and it may be said that no mystery about the old Roman ships can continue to exist. - They are there for experts to study, #pd decayed, moldy ena almost shape- Jess masses ‘as they appear, they are, nevertheless, wonderful records of what was once the shipbuilding power of Rome. Their characteristics weze the subject of much speculation among archeologists before the work of drain- ing the lake was begun, and for 400 years before that they were the object of repeated attempts to ralse or to carry away a part of what belonged to them and to exhibit them in museums. Possible Ocean Vessels. One of the ships measures 210 feet in length and the other 249 fect, which means that they approach the size of & big sailing vessel or an ordinary 2,000-ton tramp steamship, and they might have been capable of sailing on | the ocean. The second ship was examined as the Jevel of the water declined and a num- ber of bronze figures known as hermas were collected. The first represented | fauns, male figures with two heads and two faces, and the last cne found has two heads of nymphs, or female fig- ures. Half a dozen of these hermae have been removed. They were evi- dently the work of craftsmen who sim- ply copied Greek decorative works of $his kind. ‘The fantastic speculations which were ndulged in before the ships were made to emerge have not be confirmed and their aspect would at first sight have been diszppeinting vey a conv great progress v\hl(‘h Romans had made in shipobuilding. It gives an id=a of the soiid sides, the oak timber, the division of the decks and the arrange- ments, even for steering, which the Romans made. . Tinsel and Cclor Gone. The tinsel and color of the ships have | gone after lying under wa and oni the muddy bottom of the lake for nearly | 2,000 vears, but much of the metal rail- ing which protected the decks, metal pumps, even a windlass and a good deal of leading pipe have remained to make the vast inert mass cf each ship inter- esting to the student of ancient naval bject found was a carpen- about 15 inches high, nts and a metal guid: just like what the large working cc pass of any ship's carpenter misht have een, even in comparatively recent days, ; on the big Norweglan cr Swedish sailing | ships. The second ship also will be hauled farther up on the shore and will be placed side by side with the first ship, to be exhibited as a permanent curi- osity. (Copyright. 1931.)
