Grubark
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Grubarks were ancient Dwarf vessels, mainly used on the great rivers of what is now the Old World. [1a][2a]
The Grubark were used extensively before contact with the Elves but as trading began between the two races they were able to shift large quantities of goods to the new Elf cities. [1a]
These ships had an ingenious system of gearing that allowed a small number of Dwarfs to power a number of sweeps but were steadily replaced by paddle ships, known as Ghazan-harbarks. [1a]
Norse Dwarfs
Kraka Ravnsvake was the first of the northern holds to create a navy for warfare and trade and still favours the Grubark class of vessel. [3a]
