Viking ships were primarily constructed from oak, a durable and sturdy wood that was readily available in Scandinavia. The ships featured a clinker-built design, where overlapping planks were fastened together with iron rivets, creating a flexible yet strong hull. Additionally, the use of tar and pitch helped to waterproof the wood and protect the vessel from the harsh maritime environment. This combination of materials and construction techniques allowed Viking ships to be fast, agile, and capable of navigating both open seas and shallow rivers.
