The boat has been abandoned at a local boat store here, and the owner of the shop is tired of it being in his parking lot and offered to give it to my husband for free. They have taken the registration numbers and looked up the owner and tried to contact him, but they can't find the owner anywhere. How could we go about legally claiming this boat and getting it registered and changed to our name.

I am playing a game which simulates Medieval Europe in the from 1080-1260, and I am trying to add some realism. I think that this game horribly underestimates how far a ship can travel in a year. I was wondering if some history buff knows about how far an average ship from that time period could travel in a year through the waters of the Mediterranian, or the Atlantic Coastline.

An answer to just that would be great, but just in cast there is some highly knowledgeable person out there I'll list all the ships in the game in so you can list specifics for each one.

Dhow, Cog, Viking Longboat, Galley, Ladya, Dromon, Holk, Dragon Boat, War Galley, Fire ship, Caravel, Lanternas, Galleass, Baghlah, and Carrack.

Thank you very much!

The boat needs work on the floor. It needs seats, a gas tank and some work will need to be done with the steering and shifters. It is a classic and could look awesome if it was restored. The motor runs well.
