BRIG or BRIGANTINE
Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2017 7:43 pm
Stanley Gibbons gives her as a “kogge” and Watercraft Philately as a “caravel” while the Enzyklopadie der Maritmem Philately (Navicula) gives her as a “brig”.
I think Navicula is the most correct, comparing the rigging, she is a brig or brigantine rigged vessel and has not much to do with a kogge or caravel rigging.
The brig was a common vessel during the 17th century. More info on the brig is given on
