The vikings were masters of deep water sailing. The ship design was developed for flexibility in rough seas yet could navigate shallow water. The hull design skates across the sea at far greater speed than any ancient Roman or Phoenician ships as can be seen by the many accurately reproduced longboats sailing today.
@lunhil12 Lol, Sea Peoples had better ships before vikings. Sea-peoples are mixed indo-europeans and semites across mediterannean. theyve reached to ireland before vikings and some scholars say picts were originally some kind of sea people. sure viking ships are great but others had it before em.
@MrRuski96 One thousand years or more the Greeks traveled every were in Europe, the Romans founded colonies in the Baltic sea, the main road in Riga is dedicated to the emperor Augustus.
@Capitancanguro1 the nordic people were living there before the greeks went and explored also the long boat was made in the stone ages, it was made after the umiak was invented.
A copy of the boat, because they look a like? Because around the viking time. The vikings were probobly the leading experts on boats. And where are the greek boats around this time? And can you prove this aswell. That vikings have travled to Greece and learned the method.
@Capitancanguro1 dude just because they both have oars doesnt mean they HAVE ANYTHING similare, they are COOMMMPLLETLLY diferent the only thing similar is its long its a boat and made or wood and uses oars, NOOO similar shape, no similar design, no similar size, the viking ship went far and wide, the ships you are thinking of would tip over in a mild storm the greek ships were clumsy!
@Arwyroe The Greeks Phoneticians and Romans had better ships than the Vikings, some of the Greek and Roman ships had three layers of rowers and had catapults,they traveled the Mediterranean and in to the Atlantic ocean, the Viking boat is a basic row boat used to pillage in the summer time.
everything you just said would make a boat worses! we are talking about boats not sea weapons, the shallow wide shape of the longship allowed it to go up rivers and survive horifying storms in the north atlantic sea!! yannow... only the most violent sea in the world because of the large current of hot water going up to the artic and cooling down rapidly, while your arguing a tall ship in a clam ocean is better...
@Arwyroe I see you are not a naval architect, flat bottom boats are suitable for lakes and rivers, the Vikings used they row boat in summer time when the weather was good to pillage, flat bottom boat are not suitable for winter ocean sailing, the Viking boat is a poor copy of the Greek ,Phoenician boats.
