shipbuilding
My text is about shipbuilding during the Middle Ages in the Hansa city states. It's in German but this word seems to be Swedish (I think). Is this a ship or a vessel of some sort?

Kogg
"This is from ON kuggr 'Hanseatic ship', a loan from MLG kogge 'broad,
rounded ship, mostly used for war'. Either directly or via French, this
is a loan from Middle Latin cucurum, of unknown origin, which also gave
rise to the English word quiver and through Byzanthine Greek koukouron
to the Russian word kokoru 'patron pugh'."

\"The cog was a wide spacious type of transport ship that through the Middle Ages gradually replaced the Viking age types in northern Europe. The first mention of a cog is from 948 AD in
Muiden near Amsterdam. These early cogs probably used a steering oar (side rudder, quarter rudder).
There is no evidence of a stern rudder in northern Europe until about 1240./../
