Typically, a Viking warship is narrower, longer, and shallower than a knar merchant ship, and is powered by oars and sails. The warship is completely open and built for speed and maneuverability, with rowers on each side. A knar, in contrast, is partially enclosed and powered mainly by sail. The knar is mainly for carrying cargo.
