		It is common for the builders to sail their ships and some have made amazing voyages attesting to the functionality of the Viking ship design (and sometimes lack thereof).
		The Gokstad ship is probably the most commonly copied either in full size or as a scaled down version.
		The original ships from the Viking era were clinker built with planking hand split from green logs and fastened with either leather for small boats or wooden plugs - later iron rivets - for larger ships.

		The oarports were cut at the second strake of the ship, which permitted a higher freeboard than if the oars had been secured by oar locks on the gunwale and an advantage over the enemy.
		The Gokstad ship was built around AD 900 and represents the finest expression of a technical achievement that already had been attained by the mid-eighth century and had begun long before.
		With ships such as these, the Vikings were the dominate sea power in the ninth and tenth centuries.

		The Gokstad ship is displayed together with the Oseberg ship, the Tune ship and two of the smaller boats found at Gokstad in the large hall at the Viking Ships Museum in Oslo.
		The ship had 32 rowing oar holes that left room for 70-80 men on board; this supports the idea that this was a warship.
		The Gokstad ship's seaworthiness was demonstrated by a copy, Viking, which was built at Framnæs shipyard, Sandefjord in 1893.

		Heavy, slow ships with round bottoms were used to transport grain, while slim-keeled ships such as the trireme were used for warfare (see galley).
		In the Middle Ages Viking ships, propelled by both oars and sails, carried Leif Eriksson to America; their structure is well known from such evidences as the Gokstad ship (unearthed in 1880), which is 80 ft (24.4 m) long, 16 ft 6 in.
		Modern freight ships are equipped with powerful machines for handling cargo; and, although jet transportation led to the demise of the great ocean liners, cruise ships continue to be built, providing the luxuries of the finest hotels.

		These ships had a ratio of length to width of about 7:1, (Nurmann, Schulze, Versülsdonk, 1997) which means they provided a fairly small cross sectional area in proportion to their size, reducing the drag on the boat.
		A replica of the Gokstad ship was found to be able to attain speeds of ten to eleven knots as a result of its hull design.
		The more of the ship that is in the water, the greater the resistance to turning, and the further this is from the turning axis, the greater the torque.

		The Gokstad ship, found in 1880 in Sandefjorde, Norway, is 79 ft overall, double-ended, like all Nordic ships, with a high curving stem and stern posts.
		The Gokstad ship was also recovered with the shields attached to the gunwale, at the ready for the warriors on board.
		The technical perfection of this ship comes as a result of a long tradition of experience and experiment that first yielded sailing ships suitable for the open seas about one hundred years before the Gokstad ship was even built (Sawyer, 1971).

		In both the Nydam ship and the Kvalsund boat the connection between the keel and the stem and stern is made by a flat joint (ends of planks not cut obliquely) and overlapping horizontally fastened with treenails, no doubt a less durable method for such an exposed point of the structure.
		On the other hand it is evident that the Gokstad ship did not have a dragon head of the type found on the Oseberg ship, although it may have had a similar ornament in another form.
		The planking of the Gokstad ship consists of 16 strakes, each overlapping the one below, and fastened to it with round-headed rivets driven through both planks from the outside On the inside the nails are riveted over a little, square iron plate called a clinch-plate (ro).

		Until the epoch-making excavation of the Skuldelev ships (Denmark) in 1962, the royal burial ship from Gokstad on the Oslofjord (Brøgger 1951) had dominated thinking about the ships of the period, and its presumed character was attributed to all ships mentioned in the sources.
		Estimates of the ability under sail of the Gokstad ship have been naturally as various as estimates of its sail area and displacement where the variation between upper and lower estimates, appropriate to different roles, is 150 percent.
		In ships the size of the Gokstad ship and larger, crossbeams were supports for a deck of loose boards on which the oarsmen probably sat on their sea chests.

		The ship was first housed in the Field Columbian Museum in Chicago, then restored in 1919 and placed in Lincoln Park under a fenced-in, wooden shelter.
		In a letter dated 9/7/93 addressed to the registered agent of the Viking Ship Restoration Committee, from the General Superintendent of the Chicago Park District, the Chicago Park District requested that the ship be cleaned, tarped and moved from Lincoln Park to proper storage.
		A ship this beautiful, which we also believe is the largest remaining artifact of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Illinois, deserves to be better preserved.

	Viking Ship Models
		Traditionally, ships were distinguished from boats by size—any buoyant vessel small enough to fit on board a ship was considered a boat.
		The detailed and professionally drafted Viking ship plan drawings used for our models are suitable for the compilation of material takeoff lists, layout for timber and plank measurement and cutting schedules for the full scale construction of an impressive and highly seaworthy sailing and rowing vessel.
		The ship is built of oak throughout arid consists of keel, stem and stern, ribs with crossbeams and knees, planking and masts.

		Replicas of the Gokstad ship have demonstrated that it was indeed possible to row with the shields hung out: but it is not clear whether they would be particularly helpful hung up like that, during any actual fighting.
		As the ship is not yet quite ready to go, not all of the crew have arrived yet, and left their wooden sea-chests ready to be loaded on board.
		On a real ship the mast would be put into position by first sliding it into place (from the direction of the back of the ship); and then slowly standing the mast upright, passing it right through the top block, and down until it was resting in a socket in the lower block of wood.

		The ships' measurements are length 21.5 metres, width 5.1 metres and height 1.6 metres to the gunwhale amidships.
		Because not all of the ship was found the size must be calculated as approximately - 21 metres in length, 4.8 metres in width and 1.70 metres in height to the gunwhale a midships.

		She made 11 knots and the hull was observed to flex with the waves to the extent of a movement of 6" in the gunwhale strake.
		The Oseberg, Gokstad and Tune ships are all vessels with 15-16 oars per side, and not, therefore, warships in the purest sense/ Their length to beam ratio at around 1:4.3 is rather ample so that it seems that they were built for carrying capacity rather than speed and manoeuvrability alone.
		The Ladby ship may thus correspond more closely to the standard kind of Viking warship and, more significantly, is thought to be analogous to the ships used by William of Normandy for the invasion of England.
