Dover Castle - The Key to England

What a gorgeous castle! I'm very glad it's still standing.

I went to Dover castle in 2009 and it was absolutely amazing! One day I'll go back. :)

I went to Dover Castle this summer in June during my holiday in UK! It was an epic and wonderful experience! Would love to return there :)

Really interesting thank you I live in Folkestone just down the coast - we will have to visit again. 👍

That Roman lighthouse is mind blowing. It’s approx. 2000 years old! Wow

But those aren't catapults, they're trebuchets!

[@inisipisTV]

It’s a Catapult. Trebuchet uses a swinging counterweight at its bottom to swing the ball. It uses the straight Vertical gravitational force for its power (Either the Trebuchet rolls with rollers to do this or a special hinged counter-weight that swings vertically down.) Catapults uses either a stationary counter-weight that goes into arc or twisted arm-band or like the one he shows, a group of people swing the arm, again in an arcing motion.

Dart's I thought they were called Bolt's.

[@chrislawrence5188]

That is a trifle pedantic from one who does not know when to use an apostrophe.

[@simongee8928]

For crossbows, the projectiles were originally termed quarrels, but later bolts. Not sure when or why this changed, but certainly not darts - ! 😅

Arrows! Or ‘arraz’ if you’re a cockney!🤣

[@inisipisTV]

Both are used Historians and in Antiquity. Bolts tend to mean both the round ball Shots that Roman Ballista uses, to dart like projectiles called Quarrels that the French use. Modern Crossbow user and seller like to call them Bolts so as not to be confused with the modern playing Sports Darts.
