		A war ship was a valuable item, not only for the prestige and monetary value that went to her owner, but also for her utility in future battles.
		Some ships were built with wood salvaged from earlier ships, as evidenced by the Skuldelev 5 ship (which is described as a "coffin ship" because of its poor construction and low level of seaworthiness).
		Ships were beached at the end of the day, avoiding navigational hazards difficult to see at night, and allowing a cooking fire to be safely kindled.

		Dating from the beginning of the period of Viking expansion, the Oseberg ship was found in 1904 in a burial mound located on a farm of the same name at Slagen, about 70 miles south of Oslo.

		In 1926, the ship was moved to the Viking Ship Hall at Bygdøy, Oslo, where it is housed together with remains of the Gokstad and Tune ships.

		Ships similar to the Oseberg, called "karvi," were used mainly by chief-tains for cruising along the coast and in the fjords that punctuate the coastline of Norway.
		The Gokstad ship was excavated a quarter of a century earlier on a farm also located on the Oslofjord; an even earlier ship, the Tune, was found in 1867 on the opposite side of this same fjord.
		The Oseberg probably was built about 800 A.D. Half a century later it was dragged ashore, a large wooden burial chamber was erected on its stern and an elderly woman and her young servant were laid to rest within the chamber.

		Dating from the late ninth century, shortly after the beginning of the Vikings' long-distance raiding, the Gokstad ship is a large clinker-built boat thought to be of a type known as a karvi, similar in construction to the earlier Oseberg ship.
		The Gokstad ship has sixteen strakes (four more than in the Oseberg ship) built up from either side of the single-piece oak keel and the thirty-two oar holes were fitted with shutters that could be closed to keep out water when the single square sail was set.
		After the excavation of the burial mound in which the ship was discovered in 1880, the remains of the vessel were transferred to Oslo.

		The Oseberg ship is highly ornate (301) and the grave was apparently that of a young noble woman of sufficient status to justify a lavish burial.
		Above the meginhufr on the Oseberg ship are two further strakes which are nailed directly onto vertical knees resting on the thwarts rather than being cleated and lashed to ribs as in the lower part of the boat.
		Overall the Oseberg ship is 65' by 16' with a length to beam ratio of 1:4 which is low for a war vessel by acceptable for a Karv.

		To improve her seaworthiness, Oseberg's sides were heightened by two strakes, lines of planking running the length of the ship, and she was fitted with a slightly smaller sail, which increased her hull speed and stability.
		Oseberg's seams had to be caulked, cameras had to be rigged to Gaia's mast to record her transatlantic voyage, and all three ships needed a touch of varnish.
		The original Oseberg ship was part of a richly furnished burial that contained the remains of two women and a wealth of grave goods.

		Henri was a ship’s mate on merchant ships, and his studies focussed on the principles of shipbuilding - design, construction, strength and stability, and the characteristics of sailing ships.
		But the more Henri looked at the ship, the more perplexed he became; the characteristics of the Oseberg ship were sometimes in contradiction to what he had learned about ship design in his studies.
		This ship’s hull was concave instead of the traditional convex, and it had a large and high bow and stern.

		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).
		It is clear, though, that the war ship is not a good general trading ship with its relatively low freeboard and limited cargo carrying capacity.
		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 Oseberg ship contained the bodies of two women, one older and one younger; because she was buried in a higher-status red dress, the younger woman is thought to have been the noble whom the burial honoured.
		The "Oseberg Loom" described in a previously-published volume of the Oseberg Finds is a separate item which was found nearby: the posts associated with the tablet weaving appear to have been less sturdily constructed and hence to have been more damaged by the burial method.
		At least some of the tapestries found on the Oseberg Ship had tablet woven borders, some of which were sewn on, and some of which were woven integrally with the tapestries.
