While it is true that google brings back lots of false hits that need to be waded through, persistence often helps.

I googled for barfleur white and found these

None of the three links I posted were 'google sources'. I just used google to find them. Are you looking for a website that google doesn't know about? Good luck with that.

I googled for shipbuilding "12th century" and found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipbuilding
Wiki. Figures.

Sometime around the 12th century, northern European ships began to be built with a straight sternpost, enabling the mounting of a rudder.

Was there a sternpost or rudder on the images you saw?

Jimmy, a sternpost was introduced about the time in question, i will have to have another look at the images, i have seen a reference to the white ship that calls it a (snake ship) whatever that means.

In one refference the white ship is called a dragon ship, i have found an obscure note that states a dragon ship is a viking (drekkar), anyone ?
