Swashbuckler 1700 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) I was wondering was fluyts used by Dutch in other places than the Baltic? ( tax avoidance on the Øresund was reason to flutes' odd shape) If someone don't know what the flute is here is nice pic of a model Edited April 20, 2012 by Swashbuckler 1700 "I have not yet Begun To Fight!"John Paul Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
