Italian Shipbuilders Produce Replicas of Old Roman Ships
Lake Nemi, Italy—(U.P.)-Modern shipbuilders have succeeded finally in doing what the shipbuilders of the Roman emperor Tiberius apparently did as a matter of course.
Two scale-modes of ships of the imperial Roman navy, built from plans based on salvaged hulks of originals, are on display here after more than three years of construction work at one of Italy's best-equipped shipyards, near Naples.
Naples.
The ancient Romans built the originals right on the shores of the lake where they were brought back to light in 1930, after having lain on the lake bottom for nearly 2,000 years.
years.
The two triremes, dating from about 41 B.C., were discovered in 1829 by Annesio Fusconi, an Italian who invented a sort of primitive "bathysphere" to explore the bottom of Lake Nemi, 15 miles south of Rome.

according to legend, the lake had been the scene of Bacchanalian orgies and rites in honor of the goddess Diana. The two ships, built by order of Emperor Tiberius, were sunk just off-shore.
Fussimil scoured the bottom in his submarine invention and came up with hits of marble columns, copper nails, beams and pieces of metal, indicating the existence of the two ships.
solini had the lake drained and the ships brought to light. The hulks, after being restored, were set up on display in a museum on the shore of the lake.
During the war, the relics were destroyed.
Fortunately, the Italian ministry of marine had detailed photographs and plans of the two ships and a project was organized to reconstruct the vessels.
It took the best shipbuilding skill to rebuild one-fifth scale models of the ships. The cost of reconstructing the originals on the site would have been prohibitive, according to engineers' estimates.

The 220-foot length and 65-foot width of the 2,000-year-old trirames were copied in exact scale models 49 by 13 feet, at a cost of $100,000, including transportation from the Naples shipyard to Lake Nemi.
The models have been towed by tank to the lake and set up in the museum that had housed the originals.
