@caitlinrgreen crikey - ship blown out to sea?
@JaneGrover1 Most credible explanation I'd have thought---perhaps a wreck down there?
@caitlinrgreen possibly. Why were they dredging there, its a pretty sensitive area?
@JaneGrover1 It was in 1934, fwiw...
@caitlinrgreen I favour a Romano-British shore lunch on insula Brasylle https://books.google.ca/books?id=224CAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA475&dq=%22porcupine+bank%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjA9Pn0kI_LAhVDyGMKHX1UBdkQ6AEIIjAA#v=onepage&q=%22porcupine%20bank%22&f=true …pic.twitter.com/CQS83CKjq2
@wreadon Fascinating, although I'm not sure would have been above water even at height of the last Ice Age... Wonder how they got there??
1/2 @caitlinrgreen 1st find if site properly identified; see SMSmith "muddle" p 138 http://pmnhs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/055-PNV6N5OCT96.pdf …
@caitlinrgreen @carolemadge right so... are there pots in N AM. ..trade routes extend nb esoteric maps known of before Erik the Red maybe?
@HyettNeal @carolemadge I'm sure there are claims of such, but whether any are verifiable...?
@caitlinrgreen @carolemadge yes that's the case verification of maps drawn at the time using earlier sources also verified as the base; -0)
@freugeneoneill @caitlinrgreen It is an inscription in honour of emperor Trajan. It was found in Sydenham http://db.edcs.eu/epigr/epimap.php?p_lat=54.608018&p_long=-5.873566 …
@freugeneoneill @carolemadge @caitlinrgreen Trajan wd have found it handy for either Bangor or Belfast.pic.twitter.com/eApCxL3TOR
@freugeneoneill @carolemadge @caitlinrgreen Wouldn't need the footbridge, then.
