The foremast and mainmast were fitted with square sails, while the mizzenmast had a lateen sail. They usually had two or three decks (<em>coperte<\/em>), including the upper deck (<em>tolda<\/em>). They were usually armed with several pieces of artillery for defence.<\/li><li><em>Navi<\/em> were the largest merchant ships in the Mediterranean. Manlio Calegari calculated that, in 1509, the average net tonnage (maximum weight that could be loaded) of a Genoese <em>navi<\/em> was 14,000 <em>cantari<\/em>, or just under 670 metric tons, which corresponds to 930 m<sup>3<\/sup> of net tonnage (maximum volume that could be loaded). The smallest units were over 8.000 <em>cantari<\/em>, i.e. 380 metric tons net tonnage and 530 m<sup>3<\/sup> net tonnage.<\/li><li>Between 3.000 and 8.000 cantari (140-380 t) Genoese ships were classified as <em>barche<\/em> (sing. <em>barca<\/em>). This term can be rather confusing, as it can also refer to smaller ships. The larger <em>barche<\/em> had similar construction characteristics to the navi, but with two or three masts and two decks.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reconstruction of the Mortella shipwreck The information obtained from documentary sources, the geographical proximity of the Mortella 2 and 3 wrecks, and the similarity of the material found, in particular the artillery and anchors, allow us to conclude that both vessels were related to the same historical event, and thus identify them with the documented &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/construction\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">construction<\/span> Leer m\u00e1s &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2107"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2107"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2293,"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2107\/revisions\/2293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usig-proyectos.cchs.csic.es\/mortella\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
