Crow's nests appear in Egyptian reliefs as early as 1200 BC and on eighth to seventh century BC representations of Phoenician, Etruscan, and Boiotian ships.[3] The crow’s nest disappears completely from depictions of ships after the seventh century, although the relationship between a raised vantage point and better visibility continued to be well understood. Theon of Smyrna wrote that by climbing the mast of a ship, one could see land that is invisible to those on deck.[3]
The first recorded appearance of the term was in 1807, used to describe Scoresby Sr.'s barrel crows nest platform.[citation needed] According to a popular naval legend, the term derives from the practice of Viking sailors, who carried crows or ravens in a cage secured to the top of the mast. In cases of poor visibility, a crow was released, and the navigator plotted a course corresponding to the bird's flight path because the bird invariably headed "as the crow flies" towards the nearest land.[4] However, other naval scholars have found no evidence of the masthead crow cage and suggest the name was coined because Scoresby's lookout platform resembled a crow's nest in a tree.[5]](https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/227/659/493/705/628/original/0ac603c9f71e8454.png "Screenshot of Wikipedia entry

Who keeps the shadow fleet afloat?
Since the start of the war, Russia has generated over 800 billion euros from fossil fuel exports.
The G7 2022 oil price cap forced Russia to seek alternatives. It faced a major challenge: how to keep its oil flowing without the vessels it once relied on. To sustain its fossil fuel trade Russia had to build a new fleet, fast. It quickly found willing sellers.
