:13:18. > :13:21.gives a clue to its purpose. This has always been
:13:22. > :13:23.a strategic place across the river which is why the aqueduct
:13:24. > :13:26.was built here in the first place. It opens up an intriguing
:13:27. > :13:28.possibility, that our little boat, found down here, is the ferry that
