Böcker i Ships & Boats of the North-serien

This volume presents the earliest archaeological evidence for specialised merchant seafaring in Danish waters. The cargo ship-finds of Eltang Vig, Lynaes, Karschau and Haderslev are explored in detail in order to illuminate a dynamic age, in which large, elegant cargo ships were built and sailed across the sea by Scandinavian merchants.

This volume presents the reconstructing of the Norwegian Viking-Age ship from Oseberg. The reconstruction process led to radical changes in the hull form, and the subsequent test‐sailing revealed that the Oseberg Ship was technically advanced and seaworthy. The former skepticism regarding the original ship's sailing abilities can now be disproved.
