I think the time span you are refering to is in Europe more the time of vicings and more costal related ships. Not the time of the big ones as the ones i remember from the marketplace. The one that comes with Vue to me looks as well very South European and much later. Even later as the 15th century. Remember, 1492 Columbus discovered America with three boats you should look at. They where incredible small (in our standards) and looked not so modern as the Vue CD one. I am sure Kenwas can say something to this thread, he is doing a lot of naval scenes, mostly historical ones. He seems to be interested in that subject. Maybe you try and ask him directly?

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.
