16th century Ragusian Cog 1:48 (Retro)

Brief History

Cog was a merchant and a warship of North, Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. It had a tall main mast and, sometimes, short fore and mizzen masts. In the bow there was a massive forecastle with almost horizontal triangular deck.

One distinctive feature of this model is big hatches in the sides for loading horses and cattle as this was a vessel for transporting troops.
