1709 Barque Bartolomeo Cas A Device Flew Lisbon Lourenco Pace Project Projects Steered
EDITORS COMMENTS
This incredible print captures a momentous event in history - the flight of Bartolomeo Lourenco da Gusmao's magnetically steered barque from the tower of Casa da India to Terreiro de Pace in Lisbon in 1709. This groundbreaking project, known as Gusmaos Project, marked a significant advancement in transport technology during that time.
The image showcases the early stages of aviation and highlights the ingenuity and innovation of Gusmao's device. The historical significance of this moment is palpable as we witness the barque soaring through the skies, defying gravity with its magnetic steering mechanism.
As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back to August 1709, when spectators marveled at the sight of a man-made object taking flight for the first time. The tower of Casa da India serves as a backdrop to this historic event, adding to the sense of awe and wonder that must have filled the air on that fateful day.
This print serves as a reminder of human ambition and determination to push boundaries and explore new frontiers. It is a testament to our relentless pursuit of progress and innovation throughout history. Let us continue to be inspired by moments like these, where dreams take flight against all odds.
