A Sea Monster of the Olden Time and Modern Progress
A discussion contrasts a 1653 Mercurius Politicus claim of a Rotterdam built monster ship with advanced propulsion and war capabilities with modern progress. It notes how holy pilgrimages now use rail and lift systems, then cites transit to Jerusalem and Notre Dame de la Gardo. Also includes a brief humorous exchange about choosing a wedding dress.
