Graffito of two ships, located on the southern face of Pier A112, looking into the Basilica’s southern corridor. The two vessels, one on top of the other, are both extremely stylized, so that it is impossible to discern the prow from the stern. Both have a rockered keel and almost flat bulwark. There is no indication of sails, mast, yard, oars, or rigging. In between the two boats is the hull of another ship (DP112.2); the sail of this vessel extends above the top ship of graffito DP112.1.
