Here are some photos from the museum of the war of the Spanish succession in Höchstädt castle near the battlefield of Blenheim. This museum is worth a visit for everybody who is interested in this war. Take here a look at a river draft the armies at these times used.

A marvelous model, and so inspiring. I remember the C.S. Grant's ACW scenario 'raid on the railway' that could be played in H&M periods with a canal instead of a railway.
Now, I notice that while the men enjoy an appropriate protection, the poor horses bake in the sun or are drown under the rain. A sure recipe to soon have half the cavalry dismounted!
This looks like an ancestor to a Tom Sawyer Mississippi River raft. Gives one ideas for supply vessels for small imagi-nation campaigning.
