One I was hoping to see is missing. In Ottawa, Lake Deschenes, there is on shore a circular (round) boat which was used as a tour boat. It looked like an unidentified floating object. Nobody seemed to know much about it, as it had been on the beach for years. Terry K |

Russian Admiral Popov devised a round battleship design in the 19th century following the idea of the rotating turret of the Monitor. He made the whole ship the turret. Two were built, but not surprisingly, could neither go straight nor manuever well. |

I have seen log wrangler boats like a 50 hp outboard mounted on an inner tube with toothy bumpers do amazing things. I don't know why you couldn't mount lee boards and a rudder and a sail and a chain gun to patrol ditches in stealth mode. Terry K |
