The Great Squirt

I got a huge kick out of this.

From The Daily Mail:

The instruction booklet was a little worse for wear. But then it does date back to 1577.

That didn’t stop a group of gardening enthusiasts using it to recreate an Elizabethan watering contraption known as the “Great Squirt”.

Full article, complete with a drawing of the original and a photo of the recreation.
