<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 1126267, member: 16994&quot;]The problem with that is that is by far a much less simple explanation. For years many private companies have been contracted to make things other then their usual for militaries in time of war. A good example is the Rock-ola company. They originally made juke boxes but in WWII were commissioned to make rifles for the US military of which they were all marked Rock-ola. They were chosen because of their expertise in assembling items made of both wood and metal and also the fact their factory was easily converted for use.</p><p><br /></p><p>This ship was mostly wooden. I would not think it out of the question that this company was contracted by the Spanish to make something on this ship. With their expertise in woodworking it&#039;s not a stretch to think that this is possible. I am waiting for the Barcelona maritime museum to respond and will see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
