I don't quite understand the title. This clearly looks to me like a viking ship
LPrice (24 January 2019, 0:01) complain
I don't understand the title either I think a translator goofed on this one. but very nice.
GulfCoastGuppy (24 January 2019, 6:45) complain
Very good! The title is absolutely correct!
Alicia_Butcher_Ehrhardt (24 January 2019, 7:36) complain
Good puzzle, but the title must be a mistranslation.
MamaBairn (26 January 2019, 11:30) complain
A rook is a kind of viking ship. Thank you Irina for the puzzle.
Dodiad (1 February 2019, 4:43) complain
Only rooks I know of in English are a chess piece and a bird.

Okay, it's not that it's a translation problem. As sometimes happens, two languages can develop a word independently of one another, with the words having no real connection to one another.

The rook is a kind of long-boat, but it's the Russian word rook, not the English word rook.

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%25D0%259B%25D0%25B0%25D0%25B4%25D1%258C%25D1%258F_(%25D1%2581%25D1%2583%25D0%25B4%25D0%25BD%25D0%25BE )&prev=search

The English word rook, as a name for a chess piece, is derived from some blending of Arabic, Persian and Hindu words, because the earliest forms of the game originated in India.
