La polena è una decorazione lignea, spesso figura femminile o di animale, che si trovava sulla prua delle navi dal XVI al XIX secolo. La pratica fu introdotta inizialmente nei galeoni, ma anche navi più antiche avevano spesso alcune decorazioni nella prua. Come molte delle austere decorazioni del tempo la polena aveva lo scopo di indicare il nome della nave che la ospitava a persone che non sapevano inoltre avevano lo scopo di mostrare la ricchezza e la forza del proprietario. Durante il periodo Barocco alcune navi vantavano polene gigantesche, pesanti molte tonnellate e talvolta ne portavano persino due, una per ogni lato dell'albero di trinchetto. Le grosse polene, essendo intagliate nel legno massiccio ed essendo poste sulla punta dello scafo, influivano negativamente sulle capacità di navigazione delle navi. Questo, e gli alti costi di realizzazione, portarono nel XVIII secolo a fare polene molto più piccole e addirittura ad eliminarle nel secolo successivo.
Dopo le guerre napoleoniche si ricominciò a produrre qualche polena, ma raffiguravano solo piccoli mezzibusti e non le grosse figure utilizzate in passato. I clipper degli anni 1850 e 1860 erano in genere dotati di polene a figura intera, ma queste erano relativamente piccole e leggere. La polena in quanto tale morì con la fine dell'utilizzo della propulsione a vela in larga scala. I primi piroscafi avevano delle strutture che ricordavano le polene...

Elms are deciduous and semi-deciduous trees comprising the flowering plant genus Ulmus in the plant family Ulmaceae. The genus first appeared in the Miocene geological period about 20 million years ago, originating in what is now central Asia. These trees flourished and spread over most of the Northern Hemisphere, inhabiting the temperate and tropical-montane regions of North America and Eurasia, presently ranging southward across the Equator into Indonesia.
Elms are components of many kinds of natural forests. Moreover, during the 19th and early 20th centuries many species and cultivars were also planted as ornamental street, garden, and park trees in Europe, North America, and parts of the Southern Hemisphere, notably Australasia. Some individual elms reached great size and age. However, in recent decades, most mature elms of European or North American origin have died from Dutch elm disease, caused by a micro fungus dispersed by bark beetles. In response, disease-resistant cultivars have been developed, capable of restoring the elm to forestry and landscaping.
Elmwood is valued for its interlocking grain, and consequent resistance to splitting, with significant uses in wagon wheel hubs, chair seats and coffins. The bodies of Japanese Taiko drums...
