Centuries 2 Quatrain 93 (C.II Q.93)


Nostradamus C.2 Q.93: Ship of death signifies the End of Days.

This verse is one of three holding an anagram for Eschaton and its visible text together with other anagrams add to this end-of-days allusion with hints of Ngalfar, inundation, conflagration  and floods of Ragnarok
C.2 Q.93
Very near the Tiber presses Death:
Shortly before great inundation:
The chief of the ship taken, thrown into the bilge
Castle, palace in conflagration.
Bien pres du Tymbre pre$$e la Lybitine
Vn peu deuant grand inondation  
Le chef du nef prins mis a la $entine
Cha$teau palais en conflagration.

The fourth line talks of conflagration which is part of the flood message in Nostradamus' Preface to Cesar 1555. The line contains two critical anagrams, Eschaton (L.4 .. onChaste) and Naglfar L.4 ..nflagra) . There are only two other anagrams for Eschaton in the whole text and only one other for Naglfar. The word eschaton is an End-of-Days term while Naglfar refers to the ship that is involved in the Nordic End-of-Days mythology.
Naglfar is described in the Prose Edda  as a ship made entirely from the fingernails and toenails of the dead. During Ragnarök, Naglfar will be freed from the land and sailed to Vígríðr, the battlefield, by Hrym along with an army of jötunn. The ship will lead hordes against the gods in the last war at the end of time, before a new world will arise from the sea. These are the images Nostradamus has incorporated in the above verse where we have  the inundation similar to that of  the Nordic End-of-Time and we have a ship which is linked to the Goddess of  Death.  All of which is enough to show that Nostradamus was drawing on a pagan source for another dimension to his tale of future floods....based on Wikipedia entry
Naglfar is discussed in stanza 49 and 50 of the Norse poem Völuspá of the Poetic Edda and from this source we can get a strong image of Naglfar as one of many creatures and horrors let loose by the flood and the proponents of war.
 Hrym steers from the east, the waters rise, the mundane snake is coiled in jötun-rage.
The worm beats the water, and the eagle screams: the pale of beak tears carcases; Naglfar is loosed.
That ship fares from the east: come will Muspell’s people o’er the sea, and Loki steers. The monster’s kin goes all with the wolf; with them the brother is of Byleist on their course.
