Title: [Gulliver in his boat, ready to sail home to England]
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: England; Blefuscu
Description: Here we see Gulliver in his boat, preparing to leave Blefuscu and return to England. Gulliver found an abandoned boat off the shore of Blefuscu and he refurbished it and sailed away and was eventually picked up by a larger ship. Five hundred workers were tasked with making sails, and between ten and thirty cables were twisted together to make rope for the boat. Gulliver made masts, rudders, and oars out of trees, and water-sealed the boat with fat from three hundred oxen. Gulliver was given provisions by the Emperor and he set sail.
