| − | A '''cog''' (or '''cog-built''' vessels) is a type of ship that first appeared in the 10th century, and was widely used from around the 12th century on. Cogs were generally built of [[oak]], which was an abundant timber in the [[Baltic region|Baltic]] region of [[Prussia (region)|Prussia]]. This vessel was fitted with a single [[Mast (sailing)|mast]] and a [[square-rigged]] single sail. These vessels were mostly associated with seagoing trade in [[Middle Ages|medieval Europe]], especially the [[Hanseatic League]], particularly in the [[Baltic Sea]] region. They ranged from about 15 meters to 25 meters in length (49 ft to 82 ft) with a beam of 5 to 8 meters (16 ft to 26 ft), and the largest cog ships could carry up to about 200 tons.
