2. 1. Structure
PREPARED FOR A LONG-RANGE JOURNEY: THE DOUBLE HULLED
REDPOOL AND THE SWIFT SHIPS, MAMAERS.
THESE ARE THE TWO MAIN SHIPS INVOLVED IN THE TRANSPORT
OF THE JANEONS. THESE SHIPS ARE,IN COMMON, BUILT FOR
SPEED AS WELL AS ROBUSTNESS AND, YET, LUXURY IS NOT
COMPROMISED FOR.
THE REDPOOL WITH ITS 4 MULTI-PLAN SAILS AND A
COMPARTMENTALIZED DOUBLE HULL ; USES REVOLUTIONARY
TECHNOLOGY IN ENSURING THE SAFETY OF ITS PASSENGERS ON
THE LONG JOURNEY
THE MAMAERS, THOUGH VERY SIMILIAR TO THE REDPOOL, BUT
MUCH SMALLER IN SIZE; ARE BUILT FOR SPEEDY TRAVEL.
ITS SWIFT ESCAPE ABILITY MAKES IT IDEAL FOR ITS ROLE IN THE
ENTIRE MISSION.

15. 2. Operations and Infrastructure
The basic outlay of the route is for ten Mamaers to travel
from the seas outside Catania, Italy to the harbour of
Alexandria, Egypt which constitutes the first phase of the
route. The second phase is a short distance covered on
land from Alexandria to the docks of Suez, Egypt where the
Redpool would be built and ready to sail. The final phase of
the travel takes the voyagers from Suez to Salsette Islands
near India.
Various operation regarding the ships are discussed in
detail ahead.

16. 2.1 The Route
PHASE I
PHASE II
A PHASE III
the starting point in Italy is Catania where the JN’s will be brought under the
pretence of teaching at the university about a week before they leave. they
will be taken in small individual boats to mamaers in the seas. Once the
mamaers leave, we release a ship on the false trail of that of Vasco da Gama ‘s
original route.
From Catania, mamaers go to Alexandria in Egypt. Then they walk to Cairo
where the Redpool is being built. So from Cairo to Salsette islands

17. 2.1.1 Phase 1
The JN’s will be shifted to Italy
under the pretense of teaching at
the university of Catania, so they
can carry all their luggage
The luggage will be placed in hinged
rooms of Mamaers as per each taste
The route of transportation
of Mamaers is from Italy to
Africa, a little down the Nile.
This journey will be
undertaken by 10 Mamaers.
Distance covered will be
1530 km and will take 30 days to
complete journey.

18. 2.1.2 Phase 2
When the passengers get down
in the port, the hinged rooms
are removed from the Mamaers
and folded into boxes.
The route of transportation of
the travelling party on land
Which will cover ≈ 160 km
This journey will be undertaken
by 200 full-time residents and
the crew accompanying them.
Time taken to cover this route
is 7 days.

19. 2.1. 3 Phase III
The route of transportation of Redpool from Africa to Salsette Islands.
This journey will be undertaken by 1 Redpool.

20. 2.2.1 Storage containers(Barrels)
25 Gsm
•Volume of 1 barrel is 196000 GSm3.
•Made of wood , crafted to be leak
proof like wine barrels.
•Used to store fresh water (drinking ,
cooking etc. ) , sea water(for cleaning),
oil(for trebuchets).
100 Gsm
•Empty barrels are carried into which
sea water is treated during the journey
and stored.
•Under extreme situations the empty
barrels are used as fire wood.

21. 2.2.2 Food storage
• The fruits are preserved by
 Nuts are candied using sugar syrups
 Fruits are dried or preserved in honey
 Fruit syrup in mixed with caramel to make jam
• Meat preservation includes
 Smoking for pork
 Pickling for poultry, lamb, veal and rabbit.Typical pickling agents included
brine (high in salt) and vinegar. Pepper was also used as a preservative
occasionally.
 Drying for fish.
 Cooked food is preserved using gelatin.
• Vegetables are taken in crates with Epsom salt (dried Epsom salt) in sachets to
keep the crate dry from moisture.
• Mouse traps and rat poisons used excessively in storage area.
• Storage area to be treated with pine oil, neemessence, acid treatment
(vinegar) and alkali treatment (lime) to prevent microbial attack.

22. 2.2.3 Transport
Redpool:
 Ship will be wind driven.
 There will be simple lifts(2 in no.) operated Lift
manually using
pulleys to carry the stored items to each
section of the ship.
Mamaers:
 Required parts of Mamaers along with its
contents will be transported through
Isthmus of Suez by labor from Mamluks in
camel carts.
 All the transport will be guarded by
soldiers. All travelers will be transported Caravan
in
guarded caravan. The JN’s will be
disguised as merchants.
 All required labor work will be provided
by Mamluks.

23. 2.2.4 Communication systems
External:
 There will be watchtowers on the deck at a
distance of 1500Gsm between each tower. Each
tower will have a bell and a lantern. The bell
on one tower will be linked to the one on the
other by steel wires. At night, communication
can be done using the lanterns. In case of a
foggy weather when the visibilty is very low,
the towers will communicate using the bells.
Internal:
 A huge bell will be present on the deck for
giving common signal in case of emergency.
 The workers will carry important messages
across the floors of the ship.

24. 2.2.5 Weather contingencies:
Rain: The deck is slanted so that the rainwater drains into
the sea. If needed, this water can also be collected in
barrels hanging out along the sides of the ship.
Lightening: The iron masts supporting the sails will provide
protection against lightning.
Storm: The sails shall be removed.
2.2.6 Civil Infrastructure
• Wooden pipes coated with bitumen on the inside will be used
to drain the waste from toilets and kitchen directly into
the sea.
• Due to the fragility of wooden structures, iron and steel
pipes are not used for drainage.
• For providing water and raw material to the kitchen,
barrels will be transported from the storage area using the
pulley lifts.

25. 2.2.7aWater management Drinking Water: A

to drain the waste from the bathroom directly into the sea.
A dustbin will be provided to each room and all the garbage will
be collected daily by the cleaners and dumped into the sea.

26. 2.3 Speedy interior finishing
The individual rooms which are designed for each family in Mamaers
will be made such that it is possible to dismantle the individual room
designs (as per the requirements of each family) and this exact design will
be replicated onto the respective rooms in Redpool. This saves resources
and also saves time.
The soldiers, who will not have guard duty over the land route, will be
responsible for the transport of the goods and dismantled rooms from
Mamaers. Further, slaves from Egypt (the Mamluks) will be employed for
this purpose.

27. 2.4. 1 Transportation of High- priority cargo
The high priority cargo will be put into cushioned crates made up of
wood filled with fine sand and hay.
They will be carried into the ship carefully by the slaves and once
inside the boxes will be properly fastened in the storage area.
Crates will be provided to each family.
Crates will be manufactured according to the needs of individuals.
2.4.2 Techniques for ship construction
(For further details refer section 1.3)
Steam heating of wood for carvel : This technique is used to bend wood
using a specialized equipment built for same.(Refer section 1.101 and 1.102)
Molding of iron/steel: This is used for constructing the basic hull of the
ship. This is used for both sail pole construction (Refer section 1.104) as well
as secondary hull steel backbone unit construction. (Refer section 1.102)

28. 3. Human factors
The safety of the JN’s is our primary concern, so
keeping this in mind, we will have a week training in
swimming and first aid.
The luxury comes second to us but is no less important,
so we plan to keep the environment of their choice.
The room’s interior design will be theirs which will be
carried for the whole journey.

29. 3.1.1 Community layout
The JN’s are mainly localized in two floors, the one below the
deck(the first image, with index) and the other two floors
below the deck(image and index given). The former is the
recreational floor and the latter the residential floor.

33. 3.1.3 Open space and psychological
factors
The open space includes the decks which can be used to
enjoy splendid view of the ocean. Else there is a
multipurpose hall, dining area, reading hall(library)
and indoor games hall.
To enchant those present by the mystic culture of
India, we teach everyone yoga, which will also help
ward off depression and sea sickness. The classes
would be held in the multipurpose hall.

34. 3.2 Floor plan and layout
The room design of
Mamaers and
Redpool remains the
same. The design is as
follows.
Although the room
interiors can be
customized to the
travelers taste.

For children, the esteemed JN’s can take one day of
classes of a topic of their interest.
The ladies can help about in cooking, or can have
knitting clubs. They can teach each other something
of their expertise.
There is a reading room providing those present a calm
environment for thinking and reading.
The indoor games room harbor games like chess and
cards.
everyone would be taught star gazing and
identification of sea creatures.

38. 4. Transportation plans
The safety of the voyagers is assured to a great extent
by many a misdirection, starting with the ‘convention’
of the Janeons in Catania, Italy in the University at
Catania
.
While the military attempts to trace the movements
of the members of the Janeons, the society members
along with their families will be transported in
rented boats to their respective Mamaers. As they
depart from Catania , the false news of the Janeons
escaping to India by the route taken by Vasco da Gama
in 1498 is spread . This ensures them a headstart,
which is essential to the success of this plan.

39. 4.1 Safe transport
Map of the false trail route
A small fleet of fast ships will be
deployed soon after (or at the same
time) the Mamaers have departed.
This gives the travelling part a tactical
advantage since time is the only key
factor as speed of the Mamaers will
be unmatched owing to its small size
and powerful sails.
Having a member of Janeons inside the Church
(Leo X) gives us the advantage of leaking a false trail
leading the majority of the military forces towards
the route taken by Vasco de Gama in 1498.
The safety assured by this route is far greater than that assured by other
routes for this route is common to Arab traders and mingling with that
crowd and getting cover under the disguise gives them greater safety in
terms of a military face-off.

40. 4.2 Defense and measures
Along the length of the ship(10500 GSm) the cannons will be
placed on both sides clustered around the centre, rear and
front.
20 cannons each(total 40 cannons)are placed on either sides of
the ship on the level immediately below the deck.
The cannon would be put in a sand box for cushioning the
recoil.
5 trebuchets are placed 2100gsm apart on the deck, which
would hurl oil barrels with lighted trigger

41. 4.3 Measure against sea creatures and
pirates
Sea creatures:
Harpoons dotted with poison of
the common adder and
scorpions from Spain and
Portugal manned by archers,
one in the front and rear of the
ship and 3 along each side of the
ship accounts for safety from sea
creatures.
Pirates:
Safety from piracy is assured by the size of the ship, the
physical strength of the structure.
Further safety in the form of cannons and archers
lined along the length of the ship ensures the safety of
Redpool from pirates.

42. 4.4 Structural measures
The carpenters present can repair
any external damage to the ship.
The ship has a double hull with
an iron-steel backbone.
If situation goes out of control,
we anchor our ship and use the
small boats(fishing boats, to
reach to Salsette Islands.
The double wooden hull
The iron steel backbone

43. 5. Cost and Schedule
The scheduling of the entire travel plan is done in dates.
Sufficient time has been accounted for in case of
delays with construction and final installations in
Redpool.
Costs of construction of Mamaers and Redpool,
resources and aid in the form of military support and
workers have been accounted for and calculated in
Gold Bars.
Remark: 1 Gold Bar = 1030 INR(as per details given in RFT)

44. 5.1 Schedule
TASK DATE OF INITIATION DATE OF COMPLETION
Construction of MAMAERS 22nd October, 1508 31st December, 1511

PHASE II of journey 2nd January, 1515 15th January, 1515
PHASE III of journey 1st March, 1515 1st May, 1515
The time taken by this route schedules the arrival of
the JN’s to Salsette island is five months. Where as the
time taken by the Vasco Da Gama is eleven months.
Which gives us a time advantage over the military.

Total cost of foods for Mamaers = Rs. 79,57,300
Total cost of water for Redpool and Mamaers = Rs. 27,00,000
Total food and water costs for entire journey = Rs. 2,65,71,900
Cost of consumables: 7000 gold bars
Converting to gold bars at 1 gold bar = Rs. 1030
Cost of food and water in gold bars = 25797(+) gold bars
This can be approximated to 25800 gold bars.
Tribute given to the Mamluks in exchange for workers to build
REDPOOL = 10 gold bars per worker
No. of estimated workers = 3,700
Total cost of workers = 37,000 gold bars
Total cost of maintaining a 100 member crew for a period of seven
months = 50,000 gold bars
Total cost in Gold Bars = 1020279800 gold bars.

47. 6. Executive summary
The sturdy design of the ship, the double hull reinforced with
iron, gives enormous strength to the ship preventing minor
accidents turning fatal.
The route plotted and the decoys planned give the voyagers a
tactical advantage since the time taken by this route against
the route taken by Vasco da Gama is one-half.
The overall infrastructure of the ships, both Mamaers and
Redpool is sound and complete in terms of preparation and
execution. The management of the ship is well looked into with
special focus being given to make the travel as peaceful and
non-stressful, to keep them in the best of mental health.
The transportation of all the cargo is taken care of by the
slaves hired form Egypt with several guards overlooking the
process.
Overall, this entire plan is the safest for the JNs as the time
duration is small, the chances of being attacked upon by the
military is less and further the safety of the disguise as traders
during the land journey ensures their covers.
