Karve Longship

The Karve are a small type of northern longship, with a broad hull somewhat similar to the knarr. They are used for coastal passages in war and ordinary transport, carrying people, cargo or livestock. Because they are able to navigate in very shallow water, they are also used for coasting. Karves have broad beams of approximately 5.2 m. Karve are seen a lot trading high upon the smaller rivers.
