The stem post on a Viking ship is a crucial structural component located at the front of the vessel. It serves to support the ship's bow and helps maintain the shape and integrity of the hull. Additionally, the stem post often features a decorative element, such as a dragon or other figurehead, which symbolizes strength and serves to intimidate enemies while showcasing the ship's status.
