[QUOTE="Jack Haggerty, post: 1329990, member: 89"] The ship is a small, clinker-built cog with a lanteen sail, measuring not more than fortyor fifty feet long from stem to stern. It is quite similar to the type of ship usually used as fishing boats in the area. It's old and worn, but well cared for and in apparently good condition. The flat main deck is well scrubbed and a wide cargo hatch lies closed amidships. At opposite sides of the ship, two sets of steep stairs lead to the poop deck above the aft quarter of the ship, atop which the tiller rests. The main deck beneath the poop has been walled off as a low cabin into which two doors lead. A third pair of stairs leads below through a hatch into the hold beneath the deck. There are no lights aboard ship, but from the faint illumination of lanterns on the pier, furled sails, coiled ropes, several oars, a barrel and an anchor can be seen stowed away on deck. [/QUOTE]
