[460] An attempt has been made by one or two writers to connect the name of Carausius with the “War of Caros” in the so-called “Poems of Ossian.” For this there will be some pretence, whenever it shall be shown that Ossian exists, except in the brain of Macpherson. [461] Camden describes Kiulæ as a general name for all Saxon vessels. Other writers say that Kiula meant “long ships,” _i.e._, men of war, or galleys, whatever might be their precise shape. _Keel_ now represents a description of barge which has long been in use in the north of England, and especially on the Tyne, built to hold twenty-one tons four hundredweight, or a keel of coals.
