Notes on medieval naval craft and modern navy enlistment
A compact survey contrasts 13th century British ships with later seafaring terms and roles. It notes typical warship size twenty to thirty tons, a single mast, high forecastle and stern, a square sail, and a crew of twenty one with a boy. It also mentions Indians serving in the U S navy and a Victorian Wheat Commission move to reuse damaged grain from 1915 16 for feed due to grain market weakness.
