One really cool fact about the Venetian Arsenale was that it was such a powerhouse of labor, tech, and innovation that at its peak it could produce a new ship every day.

The Ikea of the middle ages. "we want to buy a fleet" "well, we currently have 20 ships flat-packed away. I suppose if you gave us another few weeks we could raise that to 60."

@signorellil

2 жыл бұрын

"One ship a day" is the understatement of the year. At the peak of its strength, the arsenal could produce a 60 ships strong fleet in 30 days. This because the Serenessima had ALWAYS 60 hulls ready to be made into full "galee". Thia meant they they could absorb losses nobody else could. Also - Arsenale personnel had lifetime employment, paid sick leave, paid retirement, and free food during their work days. The other side of the coin - any any attempt to "leave" or divulge the secrets of the Arsenal meant death

So lucky I've been to Venice multiple times... jus 1 hrs away from my city... my fav place ever.... every time I go there I'm still amazed by the glory the Venetians had brought to their Republic and you can still see it by how amazing the city is... the Basillica di San Marco was hands off the most beautiful Basillica in the world...

Venetian tradition states that when St. Mark was traveling through Europe, he arrived at a lagoon in Venice, where an angel appeared to him and said "Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus. Hic requiescet corpus tuum."

If you need any help in your research I can help you. Also we must say not only the Ottoman - Venetian wars but the Venetian wars against pirates. There are many documnets describing these conflicts.

You really make ten-twelve minutes seem so quick and so engaging. This is top quality stuff man, and I’ll definitely recommend you wherever I can. Keep it up my dude.
