Yes, the Vikings used both oars and sails for their ships. They typically employed a combination of a square sail for propulsion by wind and a series of oars for maneuverability and speed, especially in calm conditions or when navigating rivers and coastal areas. This dual system allowed them to effectively traverse various waters, enhancing their exploration and raiding capabilities.
