 Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia - - Bremen Cog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Bremen Cog is especially important because prior to its discovery, the only available evidence of what cogs looked like came from the official seals of Hanseatic towns and their coinage.
The hull form had been evolving for 1,500 years (the earliest evidence is a 200 bce clay model found at the town of Leese on the Weser), and from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries the cog dominated trade between the Baltic and North Sea ports of the Hanseatic League.
The type was found mostly between England and Bruges in the west and along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea as far as Elbing (now Elblag, Poland) in the east, but cogs also traded to the Mediterranean, and by the early 1300s the type was being copied by shipwrights from Spain to Venice.
