My intense interest in travel has led me to collect a great amount of material having to do with sea voy- ages, ships, ete. : One of the prizes of this depart- ment is my model of the great 40- oar-power galley built for Lambre- quin II. of Mesopotamia in 2364 B.C., when Mesopotamia was an inland sea. The country went dry in 1254 and -now look at the darn thing! Near this exhibit is an original Viking ship with its ancient sail woven from the bears of these mar- velous mariners. This wiry beard- cloth was used extensively by the Norsemen. _and nothing delighted them more than when the howling north wind blew through their whiskers. On a sheepskin, just above the Viking ship, is the first known copy of the "rules of the road" as applied to navigation. The master-mariner was supposed to hold out his hand before changing his course and it was against the rules to anchor within a cable's length of a lighthouse, Other objects of interest are two pieces of kindling wood from the ships log carried by Leif Ericson and quadrant ll | and hydrant, used by him.
