"C17: A Journey through Time and Trades" Step into the past as a C17 transport aircraft takes off from RAF Brize Norton, carrying with it the echoes of history. The day mark stands tall, guiding ships on their way to new adventures. In Amsterdam Exchange, whispers of trade and commerce fill the air, reminiscent of bustling markets in the 17th century. But it's not just ships that dominated this era; craftsmen thrived too. The C17 chair maker skillfully carves wood into elegant pieces of furniture while nearby, a blacksmith hammers away at glowing metal in his workshop. And let's not forget the rope maker who weaves intricate patterns with strong fibers. Delve deeper into Dutch history, where witch trials cast a dark shadow over society during the C17 period. Plate 41 captures this haunting chapter with its chilling depiction. On Plate 40, witness another aspect of life - Spanish itinerant musicians spreading joy through their melodies. As we explore further, we encounter a C17 wood turner shaping timber into beautiful creations using ancient techniques passed down through generations. These woodcuts preserve these forgotten arts for us to marvel at today. The story behind each hint intertwines different aspects of life from centuries ago – transportation and military might represented by the aircraft taking flight; maritime navigation guided by day marks; economic prosperity symbolized by Amsterdam Exchange; craftsmanship showcased by chair makers, blacksmiths, rope makers and wood turners; societal struggles reflected in witch trials; cultural exchanges embodied by Spanish music. C17 encapsulates an era when innovation met tradition – where progress soared alongside timeless skills and customs. Let us honor those who came before us as we uncover these fragments of our shared heritage.
