    Viking longship investigation answers

    Objective
    To understand the key features of
    Viking ships.

    1 It is long and narrow. It has many oar holes.


    2 In an attack they would want to surprise the
    enemy and be able to get away quickly.
    3 The oars, because they would not want to rely
    on the wind.
    4 The steerboard.
    5 The dragon head carving on the prow and
    the shields.
    6 Approximately 50-60 men, most of whom
    would be rowing. Others would be steering
    and navigating.
    7 The ship is in the harbour, because the shields
    would not be over the side at sea.
    8 The stern is nearest, as the dragons head
    would have been at the front.

    Viking knarr ship investigation answers


    1 Because that is where the cargo is stored.
    2 Speed was less important as they were trading
    not attacking.
    3 Because it provides more space for cargo, and
    meant that ships could navigate shallow waters
    in rivers and harbours.
    4 The sail (wind) was the main source of power.
    The ship would have been very heavy too
    heavy to row except short distances.
    5 The crew slept on the deck, sometimes under
    an awning to protect them, sometimes in
    sleeping bags.
    6 The cargo was kept in the space in the middle
    of the ship and also under the deck the
    boards would be loose to allow access, or
    the vessel would be undecked.
    7 There would be far fewer crew on a knarr than
    a longship approximately ten. The crew
    would row if necessary, look after the sail,
    steer and navigate.
    8 The sailors ate cold food dried and salted
    meat and fish and they drank sour milk or
    water. There were no cooking facilities.
