Oseberg Viking longship - Osebergskipet

The Oseberg ship on display in Oslo, Norway. Osebergskipet i Oslo. Das Oseberg Wikinger Schiff in Norwegen. The ship is 21.5 m long with a beam of 5.1 m. It was propelled by a square sail of about 80 m2 and 15 pairs of oars. It was used as a burial ship for two women, but had earlier been in ordinary use for some years. Since I published this video, the burial year is dendrodated to 834 AD. Traces of fresh apples in the find narrows it down to August or September 834. The oak timber was felled between 815 and 820 in southwestern Norway. This video is nothing compared to see the ship for yourself, so visit the museum of you can!

The year of the burial is now determined to 834 AD by dendrodating (Bonde&Stylegard 2009) . The ship was built in 820 AD in south-western Norway.

This isn't a vehicle it's a bloody work of ART!

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

Now that is quality and craftsmanship!

The Viking's certainly knew how to build boats and ships.Thanks for uploading this.

I can't believe how good we were with timber during that era

@Pudersepp This is really hard to determine, because the ship was in regular use for some time before the women were buried in it. There were no traces of weapons in the ship find, nor any shields. But the ship is equipped with shield racks along each gunwale to attach shields. It may have been for defensive purposes but can also indicate that the ship originally was a combat vessel. My view is that the ship was "disarmed" and "feminised" when it was used as a burial ship for two women.

This video was recommended by YouTube. These ships where some of the first to help discover North America. In Canada they have an old Viking settlement. These ships traveled great distances in search of trade and adventure. She is a beautiful ship.

I was born 250 meters behind the place it was found

Viking ships are probably one of the most beautiful works of art man has ever produced.

It would be great if some trade school and technology school somewhere, put its students to work building a modern replica.

I believe a replica of the Gokstad Ship was actually sailed to America from Greenland in the 1900's

Oslo has two fantastic museums. The Viking and the Polar Museum. The Fram was one amazing ship!
