Tho Terrible ship Worm

The testudo navalis, or ship worm.
has caused the loss of more vessels
than were ever destroyed in war. In
tropical countries this worm penetrates
the timbcr.of vessels and eats away the
wood until there is only shell left,
which will crumble ut a slight blow.
Large beams, apparently sound, after
rcmova, from vessels after the outside
crust has been broken have been pulled
10 pieces by the fingers. During the
last century an East Indiamsu, docked
in London, crumbled to pieces when
the supports were placed underneath
and the water removed.
