Note. The following article was among the papers left by its author in a sufficiently complete state to warrant publication. It must have been written after 1934 and before 1945. The manuscript opens with three references; Jal, Archt'ologie navale, Vol. 11, p. 3 5 5; Nicholas, History of the Royal Navy, Vol. I, p. 243; Anderson, ‘Jal's “Memoire no. 7”’ in The Mariner's Mirror, Vol. VI, p. I 8. In Laughton's own words: ‘Nicholas merely repeats Jal's mistakes. Anderson corrects one…of them and mentions another.’

    Jal's long essay, ‘Sur les Vaisseaux ronds de Saint Louis’, was largely devoted to a consideration of a Latin document giving dimensions of a number of ships supplied by Venice for the Crusade of I 268; of these the Roccafortis was the largest, and Jal endeavoured to work out both her midship section and her sheer-plan, or rather her ‘inboard profile’ with the disposition of its accommodation. The correction made in The Mariner's Mirror had to do with the midship section, in which Jal went out of his way to insist that two quarter circles of I 1½ ft. radius with their centres I 8 ft. apart would reconcile with a horizontal floor of 9½ ft. running I1½ ft. below the line joining their centres, whereas the floor necessary to do this would obviously have to be given the same length as the distance between those centres, I 8 ft. Laughton deals with this point at once.
