Moneris
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“The middle part of the deck in most ships of war appears to have been raised above the bulwark, or at least to a level with its upper edge, and thus enabled the soldiers to occupy a position from which they could see far around, and hurl their darts against the enemy. Such an elevated deck appears in the annexed cut, representing a Moneris. In this instance the flag is standing upon the hind-deck.” — Smith, 1873
