Article Title：Horse and cargo handling on medieval Mediterranean ships

Abstract：
The history of ships and boats is filled out through three forms of evidence: archaeological discoveries, textual sources, and a corpus of artistic images. Art from Venice and Ravenna in north-east Italy and the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, offers keys to understanding several questions of Medieval ship-loading practices in the Mediterranean, including cargo loading, and where the war-horse entered his Crusader's ship.

Keywords: Medieval Mediterranean maritime history; Crusader horse transportation; stevedore; nautical archaeology; ship; iconography
