Pictures and credits

There are no photographs on this site.

Every picture here (the tower on the shore, the labelled slice through a tower, the three tower shapes, the chain of towers, the gun on its platform, the tower at Mortella, the logo, the favicon and the share image) is our own original, simplified drawing. They are not reconstructions or scale plans, and they are not traced or copied from any plan, survey, print, guidebook, museum image or photograph. Only the labelled parts come from the sourced facts in each caption.

Charts and tables are our own layouts of figures quoted from the sources listed. Useless the eraser is the network’s own mascot. Fonts: Bricolage Grotesque, Newsreader and Kalam (SIL Open Font Licence), served from this site.
