Viking longships, starting in the 700s AD, had a mast with a sail. To make a boat with a sail stable, a keel is needed to counteract the tipping forces the wind places on the sail. Prior to the sail being added, longships did not require or have keels.

Raiding and war
The keel of a longship in Viking times is the central structural element that runs along the bottom of the vessel, providing stability and strength. It acts as the backbone of the ship, helping to maintain its shape and improve its hydrodynamics. The design of the keel allowed Viking longships to navigate both open seas and shallow rivers, making them versatile for exploration, trade, and warfare. A well-constructed keel was essential for the ship's overall performance and durability.

They used the longships for battles. The longship was the strongest weapon the vikings had. The Viking long ships had no front or back, so it was easy to maneuver.
Longships were primarily sailed by the Vikings, who were seafaring Norse explorers, traders, and warriors from Scandinavia. These ships were designed for speed and agility, allowing them to navigate both open seas and shallow rivers. Crewed by skilled sailors, the longships played a crucial role in Viking expeditions, raids, and settlements across Europe and beyond during the Viking Age.
