Re: Inger's Newport Tower painting

Eric,
you and I most obviously aren't discussing same painting. You are discussing
a 19th century painting. I am not. I am discussing a painting from 16th
century. There is no way of saying if the top is blown up or not - it's a
tower of some kind without enough details due to distance from the position
the painter used. It's a type of water-color rather than oil and it's from a
page in an diary/annal of one who participated on one of the early sailings.

The interesting thing is that same shape, but with more details exists on
the old drawing that the Danish Marine Officer used relating to Pothurst and
Pinning's sailing and that the details seem to indicate that the tower might
have been a mill or a reservoar of some kind.
