Dogger

Couldn't quite find an attractive picture of a 17th century
dogger; something like this but larger.
A development of the ketch, a two-masted gaff-rigged vessel carrying a lug sail on the mizzen, with two jibs on a long bowsprit. Short and wide-beamed, these are employed primarily as fishing vessels (giving their name to “dogger bank.”). Sturdy, scores were sometimes grouped together and used in war defensive naval battles against much bigger ships.

Features a single forward cabin with hardpoint on the bow.
