Baedan

The Baedan was a mediaeval Irish cog, part of the Flentia Fleet. It was captained by Niall mac Eochada, and crewed by around ninety Ulstermen from the 7th to 10th Centuries.
The Baedan was one of three Irish ships separated from the rest of the squadron during the crossing to Tairghol. It attached itself to the English squadron, following in particular the galleon Warwick.
Once the Flentia Fleet reached the Trade Lake, the Baedan followed the Headen River south and the crew settled in what would become the town of Slidon.
