Orcish 'Ram' Ship

Built of sturdy timber, coated in bronze plates, and usually equipped with a landing or boarding ramp on the prow; these squared watercraft are a staple of coastal Orcish tribes. Due to the difficulty in sinking a wide, shallow hulled ship such as this, and also to the utility offered by a lower-able boarding ramp, these ships see regular use in maritime combat and raiding actions.
