The longboats of the Vikings are still masterpieces of boatbuilding today. This volume explains exactly what the secrets behind the construction of these fast and seaworthy means of transport were, what different forms there were and how they were constructed by the builders. Also presented are the various archaeological finds related to the Viking boats, including the different original specimens, such as those from Hjortspring or Roskilde. The navigation techniques of the seafarers, traders and robbers from northern Europe are also thematised in this work.
