Most ports have a port master or admiral of the port who can put twenty or forty armed men into one or two longboats to deal with a smuggler’s ships; large problems would require support from the city’s militia, the lord’s retinue, or regular military units.
River boats and barges are numerous, and they typically can most anywhere from 1 to 30 tons of cargo, typically 20 tons in a deep river. Boats often travelled in flotillas or fleets for safety.
