Is the featured ship the one that Heller released as a plastic model kit back in the 70's? The model featured the carved keel and the curled ends as seen in the video. Just found one the model kits that I started but put aside and will use this video as a guide for further construction
I saw I video on the founding of one. The only part of it was the bottom of the hull. It's in a London museum. They used I'm guessing metal frames to outline the profile of what it would look like in its original form. Said to hold a 100 men.
saga oseberg has been sailed in in well over 30 knots of wind, and performed very well. gaia has sailed over the atlantic. a ship called "viking" , a replica of the same ship (gokstad ship), crossed the atlantic in 1893
JesusChrist Some thousand years ago these types of boats went several times between Norway, Iceland, Greenland & America.. State of the art craft, boat & seaman in a thousand year long tradition.
Actually they are amazing. Ship designers have traced the hull parameters and find them remarkably close to America's Cup racers (before multihulls). You can still get "scaled down" descendants used for rowing and sailing in Norway, down to 16ft. In pretty high seas they are astonishing, certainly better than modern designs at 16ft.
@@frombaerum Keep in mind that Oseberg and Gokstad are quite different ships below the waterline. Gokstad has proven in many replica trials to be more seaworthy. However, the Viking knarrs were even better in rough seas.
I agree. The Oseburg Ship looks to be a very capable coastal cruising vessel, but not nearly enough freeboard to safely handle open ocean rollers (at best it would be a very wet ride.) Fortunately there are thousands of miles of fiords and inland waterways to accommodate such a craft. The ship was obviously built for speed , perhaps in light trading but more likely protecting some coastal fiefdom. It's to big to have been a pleasure craft.

Beautiful boat. Would love to sail on it. Its a pretty big replica. I want to see a replica of a viking war ship.
It is a war ship :-)

@@osmund10 I could be wrong, but I remember some authorities said it wasn't.
Just in case if you think that I make money on the annoying ads here, I don't. Not a dime. Not even sure where the money goes.
Those ships dont look like theyd be very good in high seas.
