Longships and knarr were both types of ships used by the Vikings, but they served different purposes. Longships were sleek and fast vessels designed for raiding and warfare, featuring a shallow draft that allowed them to navigate rivers and approach shorelines easily. In contrast, knarrs were broader, sturdier ships built primarily for trade and cargo transport, capable of carrying heavier loads over longer distances but not as agile as longships. Their designs reflect their specific uses: longships for speed and maneuverability, and knarrs for capacity and stability.
