	Bucentaur - LoveToKnow 1911
		This derivation is, however, fanciful; the name bucentaurus is unknown in ancient mythology, and the figurehead of the bucentaurs, of which representations have come down to us, is the lion of St Mark.
		The last and most magnificent of the bucentaurs, built in 1729, was destroyed by the French in 1798 for the sake of its golden decorations.
		The form it took was a solemn procession of boats, headed by the doge's maesta nave, afterwards the Bucentaur (from 1311) out to sea by the Lido port.

	History of The Bucentaurs
		From that point onward, the Bucentaur was no longer just a name recurrent in the archives of the Ducal Chancery but here took on its own form and substance within a systematic chronology.
		On the whole it seems to repeat the scheme of the previous one, built on two decks, with 42 oars and bedecked with the traditional towering polychromatic figure of justice in the bow.
		Then the "outing" was resumed and near the Lido the ship was approached by a richly decorated ducal peatone from which the Patriarch came aboard, accompanied by the entire Chapter of the Cathedral of San Pietro di Castello, carrying the basin of blessed water which he was to pour into the sea.

	The Bravo eBook
		In the midst of the fracas—which was greatly heightened by the roar of cannon on board the cruisers in the channel, and from the guns in the arsenal—a boat glided into the open space beneath the gallery of the Bucentaur.
		The Bucentaur did not return directly to the quay, to disburden itself of its grave and dignified load.
		Officers had been busy, throughout the morning, in causing all the shipping and heavy boats, of which hundreds lay in that principal artery of the city, to remove from the centre of the passage, and heralds now summoned the citizens to witness the regatta, with which the public ceremonies of the day were to terminate.
