Formerly known as Kraken Bait, the the Turkey of the Sea is a Longship captured by Tienarth’s Raiders in the southern seas and subsequently lost. It was 100′ long and 20′ wide at the beam (greatest width). 20 oars stuck out on either side, and a single mast held a square sail. With a crew of 40 oarsmen, the ship could hold an additional 10 tons of cargo. With a full crew of 80 oarsmen, cargo space reduced to 5 tons. Movement was 30′ under sail and 24′ under rowing with a full crew. In miles/day, that’s 42/24. Rowing speed dropped by half with only 40 oarsmen.
When fully loaded, draught (minimum water depth) was 4′ and only 2′ if unloaded. The hull itself was just a shell, easily rowed up a river or drawn upon a beach. No permanent covered structures existed in the shallow hull, though the crew could drape the sail over the ship as a makeshift roof during heavy rain.
