Best Answer

The Vikings used several types of ship:

Knarr (transport ships for Atlantic voyages)

Karve (similar to Knarr but with shallower keel and ideal for sailing along Coastlines)

Faering (open boat with two sets of oars)

Long ship (used for commerce, exploration and warfare)

The vikings had many different kinds of ships. The knorrwas the viking fishing and trading vessel. The tolfaeringrwas also a viking fishing boat. The drekar (Dragon ship) was the viking war ship. The one you are probably thinking of was the karfi (long ship), the vikings raiding vessel. It was long, lean, and fast. The karfi could also go up rivers thanks to having a shallow hull.
