Lady Nyah
Companion of Joe MacBain
House of Despoiler
is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: She was looking at the side view and hull section, “These ships” Oalf spoke..” had been intentionally scuttled, to block the channel during a raid”…She didn’t know a Great Deal about these ships as She was from The Plains But She would learn” Oalf Pointed to another Ship “That Nyah is a Warship”…..She had Not seen or been upon a warship but listened He spoke “they were narrower, longer, and shallower, and is powered by oars, supplanted by sail. The warship is completely open and is built for speed and maneuverability”…She Would Love to Just sail in one One day. The Ship She Travelled on being a Merchant waspartially enclosed and powered primarily by sail. Cargo carrying capability was Her primary concern.

House of Despoiler
is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: He Spoke Freely with Nyah Knowing She Enjoyed Learning and Listening as She sat in Orr listening to Him “A Typical warship might have had 16 rowers on each side. The crew's shields were arrayed along the gunwales when not in battle. The oarholes were Just above the deck. And the Oarholes were sealed when not in use being covered to keep out water. The Oars were as long with a narrow blade and the crewman's sea chest doubled as a rowing bench” This was very interesting She Thought*s*

House of Despoiler
is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: The conversation She was Listening to was providing Her with a lot of Knowledge ….some She may never use But Her Knowledge would grow…Oalf spoke..." the Warships have minimal decking, with movable planks under the rowers, and small raised platforms at the bow and stern. When anchored or in harbor, an awning has been arrayed overhead to provide some protection from the elements.".Can You see That Nyah? “ He Raised His Hand again and Pointed to the Warship…..That made sence now as The Men would Have to Be safe from the Elements…. She Nods and continues to listen

Lady Nyah
Companion of Joe MacBain
House of Despoiler
is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: The sail allows sailing very close to the wind. This ability, combined with the Mento rowing during adverse wind conditions, allowed the Men to run in to shore, engage the enemy on land, and escape retribution at will.She Nodded again very interested in what She was Being Told….

Lady Nyah
Companion of Joe MacBain
House of Despoiler
is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: She looked to Oalf….”Oalf”she spoke…..”Oalf How is it that the Ships manage to slide Up onto the shores They Look so Huge?” …He smiled having been on All Raids with Joe in the Past and spoke softly to Nyah …as She Listened….”Well Nyah The shallow draft of Our ships allows us to set up impregnable bases deep within enemy territory. Our ships could land anywhere there was a shelving beach; no harbor was necessary raiders routinely landed on harborless islands, safe from attack by Our enemies who were unable to land. Any small party of attackers who tried to land in boats would be cut down by Our raiders, making the Torvies invincible on their island……Also , there is a shallow draft made for fast and easy disembarkation during a raid. When the ship was beached, a Torvie could be certain that if he jumped out near the stem, the water would scarcely be over his knees. The crew could leave the ship and join the raid quickly and confidently

is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: “That is a coastal trader and is long (45 ft), broad (11 ft), with a draft of (33 in). The loading capacity is approximately 4.1 tonnes (4.6 tons). A larger ocean-going trader could be 16.3m long and 4.6m broad with a draft of 1.27m (50in). However, she could carry nearly three times the cargo of the coastal trader: 13.6 tonnes (15 tons) filling over 30 cubic meters (more than 40 cubic yards). With a capacity this large, she will carry not only luxury goods, but also everyday objects in bulk quantities for trade”…..Listening((I know the Measurment is different *S* But Hey I am Just a FW ))
