AMERICAS SHIP TYPES: LONGSHIP

The Longship somewhat resembles the Shallop a 17th-century boat type. The Shallop was an open rowing and sailing vessel built to carry cargo, used for fishing, or just traveling on the water. This variety of employment meant a shallop could be either constructed with large frames and thick planking able to withstand rugged use or lightly planked and sparsely framed for increased speed under oars. The Shallop being able to seat eight soldiers makes it useful for Marine landings and boardings. It's maneuverability and swiftness make it also formidable in sea battles if captained by a worthy seaman.
