Perhaps the best-known of the longships were the Drakkar, the dragon-ships
of song and story. These were a fairly late invention (11th century) and were
developed by kings such as Olaf Tryggvasson. The primary use of the Drakkar
Viking Ship was as a warship. They were the epitome of Scandinavian power and
high in their admiration of material possessions. The longship was always of
a one-level construction, with oars along almost entire length of both sides,
later sporting a rectangular sail on a single mast.
Our best evidence for longship construction comes from ship-burials. It was
common in Viking society for kings to be buried under a long burial mound in
a ship with rich possessions.
With their blood red sails, snarling prowed ships and hundreds of sword wielding
warriors, the Vikings created a sight that brought terror into the hearts of
people across Europe, North Africa and a small area of western Asia until the
end of the Viking Age. Nothing is as symbolic of the Vikings as the longship
or Drakkar Ship.
