Longboat of the Götheborg of Sweden - built after Frederik Henrik af Chapman’s drawings from 1786

In the 18th century, the East Indiamen never moored at a dock and were dependent on several smaller boats for different purposes. Longboats for transporting cargo, provisions, animals and faster sloops for transporting passengers.

Was watching a documentary where these researchers built and sailed a viking longship. As they talked about her (the ship) qualities and the things they were discovering about how she sailed they kept asking things like "How we're they able to do this or that?" or "We don't understand how they could, blah blah blah..." And I just thought that the answers were very simple. The men and women sailing on those ships had the experience and knowledge of generation upon generation of previous sailors and adventures on how to handle those ships! And at least some, probably most, of the people on board were experienced sailors themselves! They could make those ships do anything they were capable of doing. The scientists were especially puzzled as to how the Vikings would keep large fleets together, considering they would be made up of many different classes of longship. And each type has different builds, riggings, trims, etc. But, as before, the people knew their individual ship well, and knew what must be done to hold their place in the fleet. Idk, it just seemed that these "experts" were pretty ignorant about their supposed subject of study.

From my interviews with High Shepherd Yan: Some years after Peter Dragonsbane earned his name and slew the black dragon, when he was finally a man, he began raiding the coast of Heimar, freeing slaves in raids on the slave caravans of the ancient Thrallic Empire and scything down their captors with his terrible greatsword. Setting out in longboats, the Islanders of Peter's warband were able to sail far up the rivers of modern-day Centrevale, disembarking swiftly and outpacing all but the most elite of Thrallic cavalry. Over time, more and more longboats joined Peter's raiding parties and they began not just to free slaves, but attack the fortresses of the Thrallic nobility. This we know for certain. But a curious tale is so often told of the Dragonsbane by singers that many, even some of Peter's descendants, believe it. I myself don't know what to think, but given my own life experiences, I can say it smacks of a certain familiarity... It was said that as Peter grew up, he fell in love with a beautiful maiden. One day, the Prince of the Gods reappeared to Peter, and told him to rise up and lead a raid on a convoy of slavers that was prowling the Isles. While Peter was delighted to see the Prince of the Gods, he ultimately refused the Prince of the Gods' command. The stories differ on his motives, but I find it most plausible Peter simply thought that retreating to the woods and hiding until the raiders had past was more prudent--certainly, given what happened next and given his survival of the dragon-slaying, I very much doubt the versions that attribute it to cowardice. Yet I do suspect that a certain reluctance to take risk did accompany the love he felt for the maiden on whom his heart was set. But whatever the exact motivations, Peter did not obey the Prince of the Gods. The next day, as he was cutting wood for his forge, the Thrallic slavers raided his village. He ran down the mountain side, but he was too late--the village was burning, and his beloved was missing. Peter immediately snatched up Dragonsbane and jumped into the nearest longboat, sailing after the raiding party, but he could not catch up (he was either piloting the craft alone, or with a small crew of survivors). Only on the coast of Centrevale did Peter catch up with the raiding party. then attacked them and slaughtered the slavers to a man, slashing round and round with Dragonsbane in a mad fury like the wrath of a roused lion. But when he took stock of the captives as he lead them onto his longship, Peter's beloved was nowhere to be found. It was then that one of the villagers told him that his beloved had been captured and that the guards, seeing her beauty, had dishonored her. Unable to bear the shame and unwilling to return defiled, she had cast herself into the sea, swallowed up by the waves. Peter's grief was dark and terrible. He begged forgiveness of the Prince of the Gods, vowing never again to disobey his commands and to protect his people from the Thrallic slavers with all of his strength. It was only after the loss of his beloved that his regular raids began, and these he continued until the Thrallic Empire was driven from the continent of Heimar and the Free Kingdom of Heimar established. I know not how much truth is in this story, yet when I was chained in a slave caravan myself as a boy, I overheard, in jest, my Thrallic captors mention "the Raider from the Mists" who would come out of the darkness to "chop up your sorry corpses into mincemeat and stuff them into sausages." I assumed, at the time, that this figure was merely a sort of bogeyman, a story meant to frighten children. But having seen the wrath of Peter's descendant firsthand, I begin to wonder if perhaps the "Raider from the Mists" was more than the stuff of nightmares for the Thralls...

Besides, land was not more than two miles distant, and it was only play to the Canadian to conduct this light boat amongst the lines of reefs so fatal to large ships.
