Cothon

cth_cothons

The ancient cothon of Carthage was a circular military harbor with two hundred and twenty sheltered berths, dry docks, and a central island for the admiral's command, capable of fitting out a full fleet in days while remaining invisible from the open sea. Our shipwrights are reconstructing this same engineering on the harbor floor, drawing the Phoenician diaspora of Gadir, Lixus, Mogador, and Tharros back to the home cities to crew the hulls as they leave the slipways. These restored cothons give Carthage swift shipbuilding and a deep pool of sailors that no rectangular European arsenal can match.
