The history of the Ship mills

Hey dear Hive community, at the beginning of my post I would like to wish you a pleasant day as always and hope you had a great weekend and a good start to the new week! In this post, I would like to discuss an important historical topic and hope you can expand your knowledge a little.

Here are some pictures that I have created with the help of artificial intelligence and specifically I would like to go into more detail here about the ship mills. This type of mills were created during the Gothic War, which was from about 535 to 554 AD and during this war and as a war strategy, the Ostrogoths cut off the entire water supply of Rome and so, of course, the water mills also suffered and out of necessity, the Romans finally created this type of mills, which has been operated by the flow of water. A ship mill is generally referred to mills which have been built on a floating platform and through the technology the same energy of the water is available as with normal water mills and the advantage was that it had always the same efficiency and it was not dependent on the strength of the wind as with windmills and could run almost full-time. A particularly formative time was the Middle Ages where hundreds of these mills were placed and different construction methods with different techniques were also known and another advantage is that it can also be pulled from land if necessary.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read through my post and I hope you like it and can learn something new about history!
