Longships Viking settlers sailed huge distances in their longships

Viking Ships The Viking ships were strong, lightweight and beautifully shaped to skim quickly through the water. Warships and raiding ships were designed to come right up on the beach so that men could jump out and start fighting straight away. The ships were built of wood and made waterproof with tar from pine trees. The square sails were made of woven wool and were often brightly coloured. When the wind was wrong for sailing, they were rowed by teams of oarsmen.

Vikings are most famous for their LONGSHIPS – known as DRAGON SHIPS to their enemies The Prow – front of the ship carved with a dragon like figure The Stern – back of the ship with a carving similar to the one on the front ???Question??? Why do you think the Vikings carved dragon like figures onto the front and the back of their ships?

The prow of the Longship often determined the name of the ship. Some of the names of Viking longships were things like "Long Serpent", "Snake of the Sea" and "Horse of the Home of Ice". Dragon head prow to scare enemies and see the way! The sail was large and made by wives, daughters and servant girls. Usually made from sheep wool covered with animal fat and tar to strengthen it. Often made from long strips of brightly coloured cloth (blue, green or red) sewn together Shields were brightly coloured and were hung over the sides of the ship as it entered port Why did the boats need shields? Clinker built hull allowed for great speed and strength in stormy seas. Also allowed the ship to be rowed up narrow channels and rivers. What advantages would this give the Vikings?

Viking longships were among the first ever ships to have a keel. The keel is extremely important as it provides the ship with support in rough weather. The keel also enabled the ships to travel smoothly and quickly across the sea. A large oar at the stern steered the ship.

Question!!! What do you think of the design of the Viking Longship? Question!!! Does the Longship look like any kind of boat or ship that you might see today?

Size matters! The smallest longships had 26 oars, some had as many as 70 oars!!! How many oars would there be on each side of the ship? Longships were expensive to build and to crew. Only the rich Viking Kings could afford to have such vessels... Like me!

Design your own Viking Ship! Prow, fierce animal head at the back of the boat. Stern, fierce animal head at the front of the boat Sail, usually red, green, blue Oars would be used as well as the sail for speed or without the sail when no wind Shields, brightly coloured and hung on side of ship when entering port The Keel gave the ship support
