Ships
From World of Entorais Wiki
Overview
- Ships are crafted from wooden planks and beams, with cargo stowed below the main deck above a lower bilge/ballast deck. Most have two or three masts with one or two sails each; Sails are typically square or lanteen rigged, although on smaller single masted fishing boats a more modern triangular sail made be used.
- All ships are custom built to order at a shipyard and constructed over months or years under the guidance of a master ship builder, whom usually belongs to the guild of shipwrights. Ship designs vary from builder to builder with some national trends. Since they are not mass produced each vessel is a unique creation, and may have differing elements of design, both foreign and domestic, included in its construction.
- Each culture or nation that has coastal territory will have some form of navy; both military and merchant.
