Cog (or cog-built ship), ship dating back to 10th C, usually oak, single mast, square sail, common Hansa trading vessel in the Baltic. By the 12th C, its capacious, high-sided design with true rudder made it capable of transporting up to 500 persons, and be used as either cargo or fighting ship. Street associated with Kaljase both lurking in the docks’ primeval ooze awaiting development.
