the vikings were an extremely exploration and discovery based civilisation obviously adapted from hating the cold harsh unyielding area of the Norse-lands their first ships were indeed meant for speed and agility meant for open sea and rivers so they were light and could take up to about 36 to 50 or so oarsmen or rowers and the bigger warships which invaded England carried about an extra 100 soldiers.

∙ 8y agoThe Vikings built fast ships for raiding and war. In a raid, a ship could be hauled up on a beach and the men would jump out to fight. They could make a quick getaway if they were chased.
A big Viking longship would be about 30 metres long and could carry 60 men. The men slept and ate on deck. When rowing, sailors sat on chests with their belongings in.
They were made from planks of oak wood joined together. These overlapped each other, which made the ship very strong.
