Nicely done RhysMichael!!!Excellent references and links, and the provenance on that nimcha is exactly what I was hoping for. The National Maritime Museum does have wonderful resources (sure wish I had a copy of May & Annis here with me, there are some great illustrations in there).
Fernando, I had never heard of crossbows on these corsair vessels, thank you for noting that, we'll look into that more too.
Thanks very much guys,
Jim
