During the Middle Ages and at the beginning of modern times the Hanseatic cities formed a league which was more important for the development of commerce and society in Northern Europe than any other comparable phenomenon. Through the Hansa, citizens and merchants from Novgorod in the east and London in the west were linked to the towns of Northern Germany, Polland and Belgium in the south. The "kogge", the main innovation in ship technology of the high Middle Ages, has become the symbol of the activities of the Hanseatic League. These ships enabled goods to be transported between the harbours of the Baltic to an extent which could not have been dreamt of earlier?
