Everyone pictures one Viking ship. There were five.
The Norse did not build a boat. They built a fleet, each hull for a different job.
Longship, the drakkar: the raider, long and lean, built for speed and terror.
Snekkja: the fast warship, light enough to slip up a shallow river.
Knarr: the deep-bellied trader that hauled cargo to Greenland and beyond.
Karvi: the small coastal all-rounder for short trips and small crews.
Byrding: the short-haul workhorse that fed the towns.
One people. Five designs. A thousand miles of open water.
If you had to cross the North Atlantic, which ship do you climb into?
