Vytinė
Vytinė (from Lithuanian vytelė - withe, twig) is a Lithuanian trading vessel which was used from the 15th century up to the 19th century. It was a flat-bottomed, river sailboat, 30 - 55m long. Vytinė ships mainly transported timber, grains, flax fiber down the Nemunas River – starting in Grodno in the East and ending in Königsberg in the West. It is thought that Vytinė was used for shipping goods to Danzig as well.
