Merchant Ship v1.1 (TL2)
    Copyright 1996 by Tracy Ratcliff
    
        This ship is somewhere in the transition from the knarr to the cog. It
    is a clinker-built open ship, much like a Viking longship, but less
    streamlined. It is a bit large for a Viking-era knarr. This ship can move
    under oars only lightly loaded or empty. Oars are mainly used to move
    around in harbor.
        This ship is translated from Sea Steeds and Wave Riders, the first
    roleplaying supplement to cover ships. Its author, Dave Sering, based his
    design on reconstructions of ships from 12th and 13th century city seals.
