Cheland


Rogue Sword
, CHAPTER IV.

Lucas sees a ship which he identifies as:

"...a cheland, lighter and swifter than the galleys." (p. 71)

The cheland is moved by oarsmen. 

I was unable to find "cheland" on line. See She Would Come Back. However, by searching this blog, I have found that "a Cheland-class transport" is a kind of spaceship in the Polesotechnic League period of Poul Anderson's Technic History. See Men On Cain.

There must be a wealth of such connections still waiting to be found but that is all that we have time for tonight.

The Forties Fest is superb. We will return to it tomoz. People turn out in period costumes and uniforms, including at least one German.
