Statement from the Viking Museum:

Documentary referenced in the statement (I think):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cog_(ship)
larger ships in the later middle ages were the Caravel and the Carrack, which typically had more than a single mast.
I'm surprised the raw materials came together over such a distance. That transporting lumber was economical back then is remarkable.
> Per the statement, the large vessels were made to sail north from the Netherlands, around Denmark and toward the Baltic Sea. [...] Uldum adds that shipbuilders made the cogs as large as possible to transport bulky cargo, like timber
Once you've built one cog, you've got the ideal tool to fetch Polish timber to build more!
