Translation examples
noun
Occasionally, a merchant’s carvel moved at a deliberate pace amongst the smaller craft, or a pinnace with a double bank of oars and a beaked prow sped swiftly by, scattering the local traffic, the beat of the drum which set the rhythm of the rowers sounding clear and small across the water.
En ocasiones, la carabela de algún mercader deambulaba pausadamente entre las embarcaciones de menor tamaño, o una pinaza birreme y su proa puntiaguda avanzaban veloces dispersando el tráfico local, con el tambor que marcaba el ritmo de los remeros sonando claro y discreto en la distancia.
