Siege of La Rochelle 1628 | WTF Am I looking at? Anonymous 11/18/24(Mon)05:57:58 No.17273977 Archived
What are those giant spikes sticking out of the sea and how the fuck did they build them? There were no divers back so how the fuck did they build a giant sea wall phalanx?

I'ts a dike (the foundation of which were sunken ship hulls filled with rubble), which was built to prevent the reenforcment of La Rochelle from the sea - in concert with two artillery forts. The painting you've posted is from 1881.
Here a depiction of the obstacle from 1630s painting.

And here a 1740 sketch, which shows the dike in detail.
