So in a bit of perusal I came across this ship.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beden

It was used by Somalian traders and I was wondering that since they were used in East Africa for trade, what feasibility they have as an ocean-going craft? Plus, could they operate in the Mediterranean or Atlantic spheres? They seem to be a good example of an early ocean-going ship.

Anyone here have any insights that go further than Google and a wiki page?
