(Spunk has drawn lots of ASCII-art including a fabulous animated version of these fireworks – was at http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/6446/firewrk.htm – a short version of the animation is here.)

Please also take a look at my attempt at colouring jgs’s (aka Spunk) fireworks so that it really does look more like night sailing.
