For a long time, sailors would actually sign a contract prohibiting women from being on board. But women – creative geniuses that we are – would find creative ways around this, often dressing as men and sneaking on board. From the ancient Mediterranean period through the middle ages we see a handful of women leading ships. Sometimes pretending to be men, other times taking control on their own. Usually this would be when they were somehow related to another sea captain or pirate. Maybe it was a husband, and they took over after he died. The Norse sagas tell stories of warrior princesses sailing to America, fighting sea battles.
Her leadership grew, and she wound up with a band of around 200 people, took her father’s ships, and launched her career on the seas. She sailed in galley ships with oars and a single sail, similar to a Viking longship.
