The motive or purpose, as in ali inventions
that led to SO marked change in construction
and equipment, should be looked at for mo-
men.. The introduction Of cannon, especially
numbers of them, necessitated raising the sides
of the vessel to a considerable height. But to
continue the water line or lower part of the
hull to the rail would be inexpedient and so
for the purpose Of securing stability the prac-
tice WIS fallen into to an exaggerated extent Of
carrying the sides home" as II Is called or
inward. so that the deck became scarcely half
the breadth of the hold. But there had to be
room for working the guns. and this led in
some instances to constructing overhnngins
parts or bsrbets and it is to the combination of
these two features as well as the high forecastle
and poop that much OF the picturesqueness Of
these ole ships is due. At first portfolios were
round, but 1t soon became apparent that for
the safety OF the ship 10 was necessary to close
