The Hanseatic Cog

hsa_the_cog

The Hanseatic Cog is the pride of our trade fleet. Originally conceived during the late 12th century, it has been redesigned and improved continuously over the next hundred years. Characterized by its bulbous shape, single mast, square sail, stern rudder, and flat bottom, it revolutionized cargo transportation. Its design facilitated navigation in shallow waters, making it highly practical for trade. With a modest crew, a cog could efficiently transport substantial cargo, providing the Hanseatic League with a distinct edge in commerce over its rivals.
