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.
That is the COOLEST thing ever!
