Hi,
I have written a historical whodunnit, set in eleventh century Europe. There is one scene where my characters are crossing a sea in a merchant vessel (and get washed overboard).
I have tried to identify the vessel type, but my researches have revealed Roman biremes, triremes (both war ships, I think) and 16th century galleons and men-of-war. In between, there seems to be nothing (on the web) apart from the norsemen and their longboats.
Does anyone have any ideas on merchant vessels between 1000 and 1100 AD ?
Thanks
