The Fighting Temeraire (William Turner, 1838)
Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) (1)has been painted this painting named the "Fighting Temeraire" (2) in 1838, and this painting shows the end of the ship, which took a part of the fight of Trafalgar in 1805. This painting is a really good example of the fate of old ships, and the ship is sold for scrap, and it on its final journey, and there is a very interesting aspect in this painting.
It is portraying the change of generations because old sail ship is pulled behind the modern steamship, what mission is to take it to its last harbor. The thing is that this kind of portraits is really interesting. Great sails are belonging to the adventures and tales of the golden era of pirates, and the steamships are the modern time.
The steam machines made those new ships able to move without caring about winds, and that made them more sophisticated than great sails. When we are transferring that painting in modern time, that thing can happen in many things, what we think as stable. But the thing is that in the cases of drones, the nuclear-powered ships can use microwaves to drop the drone swarms if they can notice them. Let's go back to painting, and look the steamship carefully, we might notice that this thing might have something, which is a really interesting detail.
Paintings are giving inspiration for modern engineers.
The bowsprit looks like there would be some kind of cannon, and this thing is a really interesting detail. So is the purpose of this painting make people think, that they have not seen everything? Or is it possible to even know everything about those things? Sometimes somebody has explained that there is so-called heavy bazooka hidden in the bowsprit or raw woods. At the back is the interesting detail, what looks like a mushroom cloud, and of course, there is always some conspiracy theorists, who would explain that somebody has been hidden the existence of nuclear weapons.
But the thing is that those things might also be a coincidence or mean explosive grenades, what are using gunpowder. In some really interesting versions of that kind of system in the bowsprit or yard has been installed the laser weapons, what might be used in sabotage missions. In that case, the sail ships can create the needed energy for laser by using hidden dynamo, which can be operated by a capillary tube, which helps to hide the real need for electricity.
That kind of system can load high-power batteries long before weapons or other equipment needs to use. Sail ships are also planned to use as electronic intelligence missions, and in the masts and sails can hide antennas, which can capture radio signals from a long time. Those systems can also capture the sounds of submarines and photograph the underwater areas of harbors.
