Asset Overview

The Knärr or Knorr is the best known and most widespread of the Norwegian cargo ships (“Kaupskip”). It was characterized by dimensions rather short in length compared to Langskips but the ratio length/width was much higher (1/4 or even 1/3). Draft was also higher, and most of these were decked. The Knärr was devoted to carry various trading goods like walrus ivory, wool, furs and pelts, armour, and weapons or even slaves but also honey, timber or wheat. source: https://www.naval-encyclopedia.com/medieval-ships/
