 But what was hanging from these... spars... made them build one of the biggest and greatest commercial empires the world has seen. And I mean the sails, of course.  On a more serious note, I always admired, sincerely, how they managed, given their demographics. And I better stop now with the plays on words... Best, Marc |

Collection of museum of artillery in Saint-Petersberg has greatly increased. Some things was removed. I was able to measure one barrel and make quality photos of them. Total length is 1925 mm, calibre is 105 mm:
