Dragon ships were large longships that had carved heads of dragons and other magical beings mounted on their bow. This video shows some glances from the construction of such a ship: Dragon Harald Fairhair. We are using the best of the old Norwegian clinker-building tradition and combining this with knowledge obtained from archaeological material, Norse literature etc. Our aim is to recreate a ship with superb seaworthiness - as described in the Old Norse sagas.
nice work

Btw. The Vikings did not invent the clinker technique, although their forefathers played a key role in developing the famous Viking longships. The Brugens ship from Belgium was clinkered and dates back to around 100 AD. Also the Nydam ships from 350 AD were made from overlapping strakes that were secured with iron rivets.
