Longships

Viking Quest

There are three different longships of the Viking time: the Snekke, the Drekkar, and the Skeid.  The longships were designed to dominate medieval warfare, trade, and politics.  These ships were swift, surreptitious vessels that carried Vikings troops on long voyages.The Longships could travel through open oceans under sail and quickly switch to muscle power using oars.
