Coracle - Celtic Bow Marauders

Keelless and silent, a simple vessel to bring death to enemy shores.

Fighting effectively at sea takes skill, courage, and sea-legs in abundance.

Small rowing boats were useful for fishing and small-scale military actions, enabling troops to silently row ashore and surprise the enemy. In the northern part of Celtic Britain, the most common form of boat for such uses was a small vessel of leather skins stretched over and bound to a wooden frame. Known by various names depending on its makers country of origin, it was generally called a 'currach' or 'curragh' in Ireland or Scotland, but sometimes 'naomhog' - literally 'little female saint' - or 'canoe' in the west of the country. In Wales, the Isle of Man, and along the northwestern coasts of England the same boat was known as a 'coracle'. Larger versions were also constructed, using planks but otherwise following the same methods and known as 'curach adhmaid' or 'bad iomartha', which mean, somewhat unimaginatively, 'wooden currach' and 'rowing boat' respectively.

Naval warfare in the ancient world was just another way for infantry to fight one another. The earliest documented naval battles are those of ancient China, 'grapple and hook' battles where boarding operations and close-quarters combat decided the victor. During the Second Punic War, Rome famously broke Carthage's mastery of the waves by creating the 'corvus' - a bridge that allowed its soldiers to board and fight. The distinction, then, in antiquity, between fighting on land and at sea was small, yet chiefly a matter of 'sea legs' - maintaining balance whilst toppling your opponent.
