Longship

This long and relatively thin boat has a single mast with a square sail. It can traverse lakes, oceans, and deep rivers. With their narrow, open hulls, single square sails, and large numbers of oars that provide most of the propulsion, longships are commonly used to transport cargo or for raiding.

Note: There are numerous differences between the descriptions below due to the sources. Be sure to use the mechanics for the version of naval combat being used in the campaign.
