I seem to recall a single domino in a picture of artifacts recovered  from
the "Vasa" as published in "Scientific American".   The "Vasa" is out of
period but only slightly as I recall.  The Vasa was if I remember correctly
was Danish? and turned turtle and sank upon launching in the first decade of
the 17th century.  Please anyone who knows better correct me if I am wrong.
