The CORBITA was a
merchant ship for the Roman Empire.
"The merchant ships of the Greeks and Romans were mighty
vessels, too. The full-bodied Roman corbita, for example, could
hold up to 400 tons of cargo, such as spices, gems, silk, and
animals. The construction of these boats was based on a stout
hull with planking secured by mortice and tenon. Some of these
ships made long trading voyages, sailing even as far as India.
To make them easier to steer, corbitas set a foresail called an
"artemon." It flew from a forward-leaning mast that was the
forerunner of the long bowsprits carried by the great clipper
ships of the 19th century."
