Did the ancient celts have large ships? I don't mean simple trading vessels, but large ships of war.?
noted caesar celts built ships large, built out of strong wood , reinforced iron belts. when caesar took veneti in gaul ships @ disadvantage celtic ones because celtic ships thicker , taller, , people manning them had more knowledge of local coast , tides. romans ended winning not because had better ships because of perseverance , ingenuity. using long billhooks crippled veneti fleet taking out main sails, preventing ships being able sail or row away , enabling romans board them.
(something celts might have oppose roman naval power), love "barbarian" style of life , can never find on ancient celtic ships. please me out here.
