Vikings Ships
Toward the end of the eighth century AD and onward, Vikings originating from Scandinavia were regularly found in Great Britain and European mainlands on various raiding expeditions in their Longships.
These highly sea worthy fighting ships of around 20 metres (66 feet) in length had a bow at both ends, enabling them to beach and/or launch in either direction. The shallow draught of only 1.5 metres (5 feet) additionally gave the Vikings the option of sailing or rowing up inland waterways and rivers, allowing them to raid areas deep in the hinterland. With these fast (a speed of 20 knots) and easily manoeuvrable fighting ships a.k.a Dragon Boats , the Vikings ventured as further away as Iceland, Greenland and even North America, as excavations at their settlements points have proven.
