The Bremen-Cog: reconstructed one more time

Within the three-year project “Between the North Sea to the Norwegian Sea: interdisciplinary research on the Hanse” (2015-2018), established by the Leibniz Association at the German Maritime Museum, questions were raised on the seaworthiness of ships of the Bremen-type1. The main object of the resul...
