During the late 70's a long ship was built in Appledore, Devon, England. I think by Hinkes yard. It was sailed from the ship yard to London via a visit to France. My Father being from Norway volunteered to help sail the boat. I remember going to London to meet the boat on arrival at Tower Bridge. Afterwards it when to Thorpe park. After this I do not know what happened or if it is still there, probably not as forty five years may be a long time for the boat to survive.
All the modern replicas of a longship I've seen are bad as hell. The Roman Rhine ship had the characteristic of a square sail, two bows and a mast in the center of gravity that allowed it to maneuver in any direction on its own axis, ideal for a river but also for a naval battle, in addition to its weight. and that it could be half disassembled. The Romans used to build wooden roads for battles and were experts at transporting them. This is what interested the Saxons and Vikings in this ship. The Vikings paid attention to another fundamental detail, the low plane of the ship's body or hull allowed it to stick like the leaf of a tree to the profile of the waves, meaning that it literally could not capsize even if the wave swept over it and they had to tie themselves to the banks. Modern replicas do not include this feature. Not sure of the correct terminology in english.
Yes for at least a thousand years, the oldest remains of proto longships used by Scandinavian tribes date from 400BC used mainly in the Baltic. The 'Viking Age' as its contemporarily known starts when they began raids into the Atlantic.
Lapstrake construction is a broader term that encompasses both clinker built and clinch built techniques. Clinch built boats have flush hulls without the overlapping planks.
lol I would need to read the comments of all those people who complain about performance cruiser sailboats because they lack bimini and sprayhood and therefore you are not protected and the boat is not suitable for sailing in the Baltic, the ocean and basically according to them in any sea except the pond behind the house
The important thing was not the size, but the speed and good maneuverability in the open sea or on rivers. The Vikings were first and foremost traders. They did not trade in thralls (slavery was forbidden in Sweden and Denmark at the time), but traded in things of which there is a surplus in Scandinavia - fur, leather, tar, wooden goods, gold, copper and silver (and dried fish). That is why we have plenty of Arab coins, glass and crafts from continental Europe. Rumors of their violence are exaggerations, sometimes outright lies. These acts of violence appeared sparingly at the beginning of the Viking Age and were a church invention - they were useful in church propaganda. It's a shame people still believe that. Hollywood's and fantasy writers' version of history is pure forgery.
Not so sure...at one time, vikings regularly went down russian rivers to capture slaves and sell them in the middleeast. Where do you think the word 'slav' comes from?
I agree about the selling of slaves because i have not found any source claiming that either. But we cannot white wash our ancestors completely. The word ”träl” comes to mind. 😊
Their lines are pure and amazing. If having a closed deck and a pendular keel, such ships could support much larger Type J"like sails and be crazy fast.
The concept is a bit non-sensical, the boats built by the Scandi people in the period from say 900 AD to 1300 AD were varied to their purpose. Most of them were trading vessels, which, if the opportunity presented, they utilised for pirating or ravaging. The ships departed from the designs used in calmer waters especially the Mediterranean because they had far different weather to sail. Almost every Scandi ship was different to any other ship, constant variation and experimentation, varied timber and varied experience of the ship builder.
Thousads of years is a little bit overreaching as a statement. The Viking are began 900AD! The nords had no written language, so we do not know how the ships thousands of years ago looked like. But we can safely assume that boat bilding has evolved. So what we see as ships from the 900 - 1200 AD can be seen as the pinnacle of the nodic ship building history.
There are a lot of carvings in stone depicting large boats in Scandinavia going back 4000 years. One found recently seems to be 10000 years old. In Denmark we have found the older boat constructions (preserved in swamps) so we know exactly what they look like. Regarding written language we had runes, as recorded from 2 century AD

The word "slave" appears in the Swedish language only in 1645 - and then with regard to Spanish colonization. The word slave is of - precisely - Slavic origin and denotes ethnicity. Vikings traded mainly with Christian colonies, where slavery was excluded.

to reach 15 Knots, they would have had to have a length of over 125 feet ( 38 meters ) !!! unless they could get over their bow wave, and enter semi-displacement ??? I would be more inclined to believe they where 125 feet long. ( EDIT: that one they are building actually looks like about 38 meters )
Both. IIRC the largest of the Roskilde ships is over 100' and that hull profile can plane, particularly when assisted by waves going in the right direction. I believe one of the replicas has exceeded 20 knots.
I have learned that the ratio between the length of the waterline and the speed is no longer considered fixed. It works only for deeply loaded hulls with plump bows and dragging sterns.
@@alfreddaniels3817 for sailing vessels that can exceed hull speed, being past hull speed is on the other side of the bow wave, ( relative to heavy displacement hulls ), so it's a grey zone.
0:30 ... "For thousands of years, longships have been actively operated to serve pragmatic and religious purposes, and have assisted the Viking people in driving their economy through trade." What? Nothing about raping, pillaging, plundering, burning, and terrorising?!
"The viking people are now as a recilient nation".
Nation? NATION???
What this doesn't know would fill an encyclopedia
Starting with the fact that Vikings were not a nation .
It would be hilarious if there were IKEA instructions on how to build the longship 😄

also the music choice is very very poor andd not fitting at all, have the video maker heard of viking music? -.-
For thousands of years? When should that have been? It was only a couple of HUNDREDS of years!😮

Existence of Longships have been archaeologically proven and documented from at least the fourth century BC. That's well over two thousand years.
That's a Lap- strake type hull, clinker is not lapped.
Clinker- lapstrake mean the same thing.

Name a single written source where the slave trade was handled by Vikings. We have not a single trace of the slave trade in Scandinavia.

Spinnaker in the thumbnail? Nice idea. No rowing to be seen here. Motoring at one point with the sail lowered.
