Longboats, traditionally used by the Vikings, could reach speeds of about 5 to 10 knots (approximately 6 to 12 miles per hour) depending on conditions and crew effort. Their design, featuring a shallow draft and a long, narrow hull, allowed for relatively quick travel in both open waters and shallow rivers. However, the actual speed could vary based on wind, current, and the number of oarsmen rowing.
