Looking for plans of the this roman patrol boat. This replica I believe was made in Germany. Possibly by the museum in Mainz, Germany

I'd start by sending this pic to the museum and asking if it's theirs, and if they have plans – if that doesn't work, try getting on to the various Roman re-enactment websites worldwide and seeing if anyone can help you. |

It looks like a Musculus, the boat generaly numbered 10 on the Althiburus mosaic in Tunisia.But a larger one… Loïc |

The name of this boat, Musculus, means "small mouse", it doesn't come from any smallness, but from a snout form of its prow and its aptitude of swiftness and to thread one's way. Loïc |
