Illustration
A modern replica of a Korean turtle-ship (kobukson), used by Admiral Yi Sun-sin in the Imjin Wars between Korea, China & Japan (1592-8 CE). The precise design is not known except that the deck was covered, perhaps using iron plating, and they were equipped with a smoke-spewing dragon's head, metal spikes to repel boarders and carried multiple canons.
