About Valeria's Ship



The Othel Wynn is a Dutch Caravel.

The Caravel is a two or three masted ship. It was used primarily in the late Medieval to early Renaissance period.

It was the precursor to the English Galleon and represented high technology in it's time. Caravels ran 70 feet long and 20 feet wide. It had multi-level 'castles' in the for and aft sections ('castles' refers to level built on deck, such as crew's quarters, galley's and the like).

It carried a crew of 30 to 40 people. It's cargo capacity was 200 tons.

At the time of use it was considered to be one of the most stable and reliable vessels afloat.
