An average Viking longboat typically had around 20 to 30 oarsmen. The exact number could vary depending on the size of the vessel, with larger longships accommodating more oarsmen. Each oar was usually handled by a single oarsman, allowing for efficient rowing and maneuverability. Additionally, the crew would include other roles such as sailors and warriors, contributing to the overall operation of the ship.
