My interpretation of the illustration and accompanying text from the 14th century A.D. Huo Long Jing, XiangyangFu edition.

As effective as can be expected for any floating bomb.

A reconstruction of this may be in the works.

Awesome! I previously created the wikipedia article on the Huolongjing, added the original picture of the Huolongjing to the article, and edited the wiki article on naval mines to include this. Yet I have never seen it drawn like this before, the original picture is somewhat amateur compared to Liang's drawing.
