Viking Ship by Tony Via Flickr: "Hedeby 1" is the name given to a longship found in the harbour of Hedeby in 1953. At nearly 31 metres long, it is of the Skeid type, built around 985 AD. With a maximum width of just 2.7 metres it has a width-to-length ratio of more than 11, making it the slimmest long-ship ever discovered. It is made of oaken wood and its construction would have required a very high level of craftsmanship Long-ships were a type of specialised Viking warships that have a long history in Scandinavia. Originally invented and used by the Norsemen (commonly known as the Vikings) for commerce, exploration, and warfare during the Viking Age, many of the long-ship's characteristics were adopted by other cultures, like Anglo-Saxons and continued to influence shipbuilding for centuries.
