Best Answer

The longboat had a shllow draft and could be easily up shallow rivers and ranged in size from a few dozen feet to over one hundred and fifty feet. The Vikings used the longboats to conduct raids against isolated towns and monasteries in France, Germany and England, as well as Russia and even the Mediterranean Sea.
