	The Viking Longship
		Between 1957 and 1962 he was co-director of the team that recovered two longships and three other Viking ships from a blockade in a channel near Skuldelev, where desperate Danish townsfolk in the 11th century had deliberately sunk the ships to create a barricade against invaders.
		Standard longships of up to 30 rowing benches (Hedeby and the big Skuldelev warship) were the pride of Viking earls and kings, displaying craftsmanship of superb quality.
		The Viking longships, the direct descendants of the Stone Age canoes, soon found themselves surrounded by a family of related ship types that took advantage of the evolutionary potential to be found in the mast and sail.

	Viking Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The clinker-built longships used by the Scandinavians were uniquely suited to both deep and shallow waters, and thus extended the reach of Norse raiders, traders and settlers not only along coastlines, but also along the major river valleys of north-western Europe.
		The Vikings were equipped with the then technologically superior longships; for purposes of conducting trade, however, another type of ship, the knarr, wider and deeper in draught, were customarily used.
		The use of the longships ended when technology changed, and ships began to be constructed using saws instead of axes.

		Longships from both sites were preserved almost intact, with lavish carved decoration, in the waterlogged clay of royal burial mounds.
		The larger of the longships, measuring 95 feet in length, had made at least one successful crossing of the North Sea, for tree-ring analysis of its oak timbers revealed that they had been cut down around A.D. 1060-70 near Dublin, suggesting the presence of a major shipyard at this key Viking stronghold in Ireland.

	Viking Longship - by KEITH DURHAM
		This title traces the evolution of the Viking longship from the one-man canoe of the Scandinavian Stone Age, through the wood-built-ships of 200 BC into the recognisable longboats of the 4th century AD.
		From this point, the Viking Longship developed into the pre-eminent raider and trader in the North Sea and Baltic, venturing as far afield as the Mediterranean, North Atlantic and modem-day Russia.
		Keith Durham uses reconstructions, original sources, translations and archaeological evidence to render a vivid picture of the vessels that dominated the seaways of Scandinavia, founded colonies on Iceland, Greenland and the New World and terrorised the coastlines of northern Europe.

		Its sail was mostly for strong winds and to assist the rowers in lighter winds.
		It is much easier to build than a longship or faering, you can use rather cheap material, it will have high initial stability (which is what most people mean by "stable") and it will probably look good.
		The faering is a rowboat which was built in a surprisingly similar shape and design to the longship, but held less people, and could be fitted with a sail.

	The Viking Longship
		In September 1997 Danish archaeologists discovered a Viking longship in the mud of Roskilde harbor, 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Copenhagen.
		The discovery was the kind of serendipitous event that earned Viking Leif Eriksson the appellation "Leif the Lucky." Lying unsuspected next to the world-renowned Viking Ship Museum at Roskilde, the longship came to light during dredging operations to expand the harbor for the museumÃs fleet of historic ship replicas.
		According to Ole Crumlin-Pedersen, former head of the museum, the longship must have been sunk by a storm centuries ago, then hidden by silt.
