Ship Type Nao

Port of Lisbon

Owner King John III.

Whereabouts dropped 1533

The Bom Jesus was a 1533 off the coast of today's Namibia by sea to India sunken Portuguese carcass of John III. It is the oldest shipwreck found south of the Sahara and the second ship of its type to be archaeologically surveyed.

Last drive

It was the Bom Jesus to a Nao. The newly built ship left on Friday, March 7, 1533, as part of the Portuguese Indian fleet Lisbon. The fleet was supposed to drive around the Cape of Good Hope before sailing to India. In Goa, Cochin, Sofala, Mombasa, Zanzibar or Ternate then spices should be purchased and brought back to Portugal. The trade in pepper, nutmeg, ginger or cinnamon at the time yielded profit margins that could multiply the use thousandfold. The ship was under the command of Dom Francisco de Noronha, on board were about 250 people, several tons of copper as a commodity and a large number of coins. Off the west coast of southern Africa, the Nao got into a storm and went under the future diamond-locked area. Nothing is known about survivors of the disaster

Find the wreck

Robert Burrell, the chief geologist of the diamond company NAMDEB, noticed a round stone on April 1, 2008 in the offshore NAMDEB (MA1) offshore area, 18 km north of Oranjemund, which turned out to be a so-called semi-cull ball of copper. It was marked with the trident's trident signet. He also found tubes made of copper or bronze and contacted the mining archaeologist NAMDEB. This identified the tubes as Berços called Hinterladkananonen from around 1535.

During the subsequent archaeological excavations, the wreck of the Bom Jesus and several thousand artifacts were excavated. These were cannons and swords, ivory, lead, pieces of wood, rope remains, astrolabies, muskets or kitchen pans, 20 tons of copper and 2159 coins. Most coins were Spanish Excelentes with the representation of Isabella I of Castile and her husband Ferdinand II of Aragón, but also Portuguese Portuguez coins with the coat of arms of John III. from Portugal. In addition, there were still coins from Venetian, Moorish and French mints. Altogether one found more than 7000 artefacts, of it at least 2500 gold and silver coins.

NAMDEB was awarded the African World Heritage Fund Prize for the discovery and receipt of the wreck in 2015

Current status

The ship was considered fully secured in 2011 after archaeologists worked on it for more than two years. [4]

In conversation (as of April 2017) is an exhibition of the wreck in the Maritime Museum Lüderitz in Lüderitz (opening scheduled for 2019) or in a museum to be created in Oranjemund. Currently (as of 2017) are the finds in a warehouse near Oranjemund

Winchester Skonkwerks Ultralight Research and Development Facility
chairman of EAA’s Ultralight and Light-Sport Aircraft Council Mark Solper Lee Fischer and A Tribute to Alberto Santos Dumont. . 24 Bis is the name of the aircraft. Dumont's first production aircraft weighed in at 242 pounds. Sound familiar? Maybe that’s where FAA conjured the 254 pound empty weight of Part 103 aircraft, a category created 76 years later, in 1982. On January 4th, 1910, Santos Dumont broke a flying wire and crashed. He never flew again. History doesn’t record if his mishap was in a 19 Bis, or the 20, 21, or 22.The Winchester Skonkwerks Ultralight Research and Development Facility — let’s shorten that to Skonkwerks — represents a team from Larsen, Wisconsin. Skonkwerks honored Alberto by first building a 23 Bis and later the 24 Bis you see in nearby images taken at AirVenture Oshkosh 2017. The group describes itself as a “loosely knit organization of friends, flyers, and fanatics… tinkerers, builders, and bullsh###rs. We are engineers, designers, and dreamers hanging out in a little hangar screwing stuff together and making it fly.”Lee Fischer was the founder of this group of tinkerers that formed after he first showed a highly modified Robertson B1-RD. So much interest was shown in the Demoiselle style of aircraft that he decided to build a 23 Bis. At AirVenture 2015, his friend Mark Solper hinted that it would be “great project to build a pair of ‘evolved’ Demoiselles for a subsequent AirVenture.” This suggestion led to the 24 Bis you see hereSkonkwerks is an honoring nod to the famed Lockheed Martin Skunkworks, the latter becoming a term widely used in a generic sense to denote a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy to work on advanced, sometimes secret projects.

The Winchester Skonkwerks uses the name “in jest to project an aura of something outside of the norm being worked on, developed, or flown while staying in touch with meager roots.”

With this article you see no website or phone numbers. This aircraft is not for sale

The designation "skunk works", or "skunkworks", is widely used in business, engineering, and technical fields to describe a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy, unhampered by bureaucracy; tasked with working on advanced or secret projects. In this case the spelling “Skonkworks”  but in most cases; “Skonkwerks” is being used in jest to project an aura of something outside of the norm being worked on, developed or flown; while staying in touch with meager roots. The term fits well within the ultralight  community as there is no direct oversight by any government organization, in addition ultralighters  generally operate at the bottom of the aviation financial food chain. Over in the ultralight area was a replica of the Santos Dumont Demoiselle, an interesting high wing plane with the pilot seated between the wheels and the engine at the leading edge of the wing. Built by the Winchester Skonkworks 20 miles from Oshkosh, the plane is advertised at the 23 bis, using the terminology to denote that this was Santos Dumont’s 23 aircraft design. History isn’t clear, but the joke is –  Santos Dumont built 21 aircraft, according to some historians.

Project Nemethis
was developed at the Winchester Skonkwerks, 2011-2019 Specifically to fly, for you, at Oshkosh AirVenture  2019.Lee plans on constructing a 240-pound Curtiss Pusher he’s calling Nemesis
