These may have obtained a 'Carthaginian Register, or the contemporary equivalent; but they could not all have been purely Carthaginian or Liby-Phoenician. This must have been the case even more with the war-navy.
This state of things, which, combined with open ports, foundered her Majesty's sailing frigate Eurydice, appears the rule of the Egyptian war-navy. I commend the consideration to English sailors. The steering also was detestable; and the man at the wheel could not see the waves a sine qua non to the mariner in these latitudes, who "broaches to" whenever he can.
The latter kept within reach of the sea; 'nor did their rule ever extend a day's march from their ships. 'The Carthaginians in Spain, says Mommsen, 'made no effort to acquire the interior from the warlike native nations; they were content with the possession of the mines and of stations for traffic and for shell and other fisheries. Allowance being made for the numbers of the classes engaged in administration, commerce, and supervision, it is nearly certain that Carthage could not furnish the crews required by both a great war-navy and a great mercantile marine.
