    Depending upon the type of ship being built:knarr,byrding or snekke,the basics would have been similar.A knowledgable craftsman would spend much of his year chosing growing trees for timbers,and marking trees to cut.Naturally forked trees provided the ribs,and extremely long ones the strakes,etc.Pine,spruce,oak,juniper were all used for specific tasks.This sawing technique would have come about later,all the planks used by the Norse were hand split with axes.Baleen was used for lashing too.

    imagine being in an open viking boat in the North Sea. I don’t know if any of you have ever seen the North Sea,well I have and it is responsible for destroying modern vessels and massive oil platforms rather easily. I cannot fathom being aboard an open boat out there in that shite, no way ,not for gold,furs ,or any item of supposed material wealth,fuck that! Its funny too my ancestors are Picts, Vikings.Those were some tough assed folks with balls big as a house. Made it to America too.Crazy!!

    “Fernalaur” = pork? :-/
    Sounds more like “fåralår”, which means “sheep’s thigh”.

    “Even the Vikings hated it”.
    BTW even wooden boats built into the 1970s have to be soaked in order to swell the wood planks if they have been out of the water.

    I’m surprised any battle was won going in that boat…you’re too busy trying not to sink :)

    it seems strange that Saxons whos ancestors came from around where Holland and Denmark are, and knew the sea very well, would be afraid of the sea! jeez! the Saxons themselves went “a viking” when they hit Romano-Britain!!!

    Copying the enemy from the North alone would make this a worst job. Remember Tony’s demonstration of how being a seafaring Viking was a worst job from the Dark Ages episode?

    Yes, yes he did.
