How to Sail a Viking Ship

I've wanted to sail on a Viking boat since I was 15 years old, and recently got the chance to take a trip on the Polaris, a replica of an 11th century longship based in Cape Ann, Massachusetts. The crew of the Polaris graciously agreed to an interview and told me what they've discovered about how Vikings may have designed and piloted their iconic vessels.

Well, being a viking was more like a profession or occupation, the majority of the norse people of scandinavia weren't vikings but i get your point. I'm proud however as a norwegian with my norse heritage and our history and the viking lifestyle must have been interesting, traveling and seeing holmgard, vinland, parts of europe and even as far as turkey.

[@grognard23]

Some parts of the lifestyle are more impressive than others. I am pretty sure Lutefisk was really created by the Irish as revenge for my ancestors slaving ways. Paddy: what are we gonna do to get rid of these damb slaving Norwegians? Liam: I thought I would host a feast. Paddy: a feast? We aren't celebrating them. Liam: Just you wait. *dumps some cod into a barrel of lye.* A few weeks later... Paddy: So, how did the poisoning go? Liam: They asked for seconds!?!

Norway. Norway. Norway. If you want to learn about Viking ships Norway is THE place. Norwegians have a 4000 year old (at least) maritime culture,. Boats that are clearly descendants of Viking ships have been in use in the Lofoten fishery up until the 1930s. Almost every harbour, large or small, has a wooden boat section where the descendants of Viking ships are on the water and in regular use.

[@thelordchancellor3454]

This reminds me of what I tried to get me friends to do during my 7th grade year. I tried to get my friends together to build a small Viking ship as well. It started with an idea in my head, about how I wanted a Viking ship. I thought that I could get my friends on board for the idea and talked to my dad about it. We were going to build it from plywood, with a stronger 2x4 keel and supports. It would have a crew of 6, 4 rowers, a man for the rudder and a man for the sail. There were to be 2 oars to either side, I wanted 4 oars for either side but decided that the necessary width would make that impossible, and it would be built to look like it was properly clinker built. When I got done with most of the details in my head and with consultation with my dad, I gave a speech to my friends at lunch. I don’t really remember what I said, something about ‘all of you here are my dearest of friends, whether I have known you all my life or have just met you this year’, but it apparently was pretty good because after the speech we were all pretty excited to get to building the boat and I started to draw up plans. I got caught up on how I would connect the boards to the keel, even thought it seems kinda obvious to me now. I remember that I was very against making it a flat- bottomed boat like my dad wanted to make. The Norse didn’t make flat bottom boats so neither would we, though that would be easiest way to do it. There was some technical requirements like how the sail would have to be removable to go under an overpass, but that wouldn’t have been too hard to engineer, even for 13 year olds. The end of the project came when we, surprisingly I’m sure, lost interest in like a week. I was still really interested but all my friends kinda just forgot and we went on with our lives. I’d still like to make that boat and I might at some point, but it’ll be quite different now than it would have been then.

I sailed on the Lestebot (19th c Norse fishing boat) built at the Rockport Apprentice Shop back in the 90s. It was a slightly broader version of the Viking longboat. We went out into a small craft warning, which I wasn’t told about till after. Kind of like being in the agitation cycle of a wooden washing machine filled with iced salt water. (October) The boat sliced through the waves like a champ. A three foot deep boat in six foot waves. They had a halstadt pin and block and tackle to tie down the forward edge of the sail so they could sail upwind a bit. We nearly went over about once a minute. At one point the guy who had invited me along leaned in and yelled over the wind, “If she goes over, stand on the mast to dump the ballast, or else she’s going right to the bottom!” Confidence enhancing. Right then I realized why the radio had its own life jacket. We made it back ok but I needed to lie down for a bit. I’m glad Atun had a nicer day for it.

Lastly I would give it a mix of 35mm guns, 12 bore breach loaded swivel rifles, and 5 barrel guided munition launchers, same caliber as your standard RPG all mounted on the sides. Lastly the dragon head's mouth would be open and used as a lantern, the fuel being a mix of oils wax pine sap ground charcoal sulfur and 27 wicks.

"If we could magically push people up and down the boat to adjust the weight, we could use it as a control...." When the Viking legend Harold Hardraade was fleeing Byzantium, the harbor had a chain across it to secure it. With the emperors troops hot on their heels, Hardraade ordered his men to row like crazy to build up speed barreling towards the chain, then at the last moment everyone ran to the aft, lifting the bow out of the water and over the chain. Their momentum carried them forward, then everyone ran to the bow, tipping them forward and they slid past the chain, barely escaping with their lives. So it can be done next time you guys are fleeing the emperor.

All the historical evidence shows that the success of the Norse raisers was neither about their savagery and bloodthirstiness (as reported by the people they raided), nor their warrior traditions and combat skill (as believed by many modern mythmakers), but by their skills in naval engineering, organization and logistics. The viking raiding parties weren't any more vicious or skilled than mainland european armies, they just had the organization and tools to move far more rapidly around the continent. This gives the image of savagery and ferocity because you could never know for sure where they were going to strike or catch up to them once they decided to move on. Mainland european raiders (which were actually quite common at the time) could be tracked much easier, so by the time your rival's army got to their target, you could move your own army to a defensive position in a reasonable amount of time. To the common folk being raided by a neighboring army, the invaders and your lord's defenders would usually both arrive within a few days of each other. Villages could often get word of a rival army coming to raid their area several days or even weeks in advance from scouts and travellers. No such luck with a viking raid. From the time their ships were identified heading toward shore, the target had hours (maybe a day) to prepare. And once the raid was done, instead of leaving a trackable trail like a large band of heavily armed people often do, they vanished back out to sea with little or no indication as to where they were going next. To put it in modern terms, it was almost like the mainland europe were using trucks to transport their troops around, but the viking raiders were using hellicopter cavalry... and no one had invented radar yet. You don't have to have better soldiers or be more savage than your opponents when you can choose exactly when and where you actually fight; you'd never engage in a battle that you weren't sure you could win. If the enemy haves equipment you can't deal with at the moment, if they have a superior and entrenched position, even if you just don't MASSIVELY outnumber them; just say, "Nope," and move along. They can't stop you, can they? So why bother fighting if we can't tip the odds drastically in our favour?

[@prophetisaiah08]

​@@fuferito I didn't say that they were poor warriors or infirior in any way; I said that the bulk of their success is more attributable to engineering and logistical skill. There is a MASSIVE difference between various norse groups and how they operated across the over 300 year time period that they were among the dominant forces of Europe. Trying to establish "the Norse" as great warriors is mythmaking, because the evidence suggests that only certain groups in certain times placed a great emphasis on battle skils and tactics, while others were content to be comparable enough to their neighbours as to be able to protect their settlements. What was more consistent across these people groups and this time was their metalworking, shipbuilding, navigational skills, and ability to move people and goods quicker than their neighbours. And it's quite telling that the "Viking Age" didn't end with their defeat or their retreat, but with their integration into the societies where they settled. This is not how highly militarized societies normally end; but to the nordic peoples, battle and war weren't an end unto themselves, but a means to another end: wealth. When wealth could be gained in other ways (trade, land ownership, negotiation, etc.), the norse most often took that route. There were some places and some times where skill in war was the quickest way to wealth (as with the Varingian Guard), but the archeological evidence suggests that this was not the only way they lived, and probably not even the most common path these people took either. Yes, it made those groups famous, and people (both then and now) like to categorize in a way that ascribes that extreme battle prowess to ALL nordic peoples, but the evidence does not support this. Nordic peoples were also known as shrewd negotiators, talented craftsmen and traders of exotic goods, but those things didn't impress the feuding Europeans of the time (they were pretty obsessed with war and nobility, and didn't write down much else), so these qualities ended up being footnotes in the written records we have ot thatperiod. The average Nordic warrior was probably about as well trained and as skilled as the average central European footman at the time, though he was probably slightly better equipped in the earlier part of the period. By the later part of the period, everyone was using the advances that the norse had made in technology, so it was a pretty even battlefield. By 1000, the norse people of places like Normandy and Sicily were largely indistinguishable from their neighbours, even to the point of adopting the local religion and languages. Were SOME nordic peoples of the period great warriors? Of couse. But the archeological evidence suggests that this was not the norm. Most of the nordic peoples were comparable to their mainland rivals on a tactical and individual level; neither overwhelmingly superior nor inferior. Many of them seemed to follow this strategy: Establish yourself as a powerful and threatening economy that could not be ignored, then use that as a bargaining position in negotiations. The skill of individual combattants or dominance on the tactical field was just one of many different ways they achieved this.

[@AtunSheiFilms]

It does - the Vikings clinker built their longboats, starting from the keel and moving outward.

[@friday3810]

That realy depends in what you mean by keep. The word keel has two very diverent meanings in boat building: in wooden ships and boats the keel is like the spine of the boat to wich The frames, stem and transom are fired before the planes are put in place. Viking ships devinetly had these. Allthoug the vikingships eher Klinkerbuild and the hull was build up with planks before the frames where put in place. In modern boats the keel is a heavy fin That keeps the boat upright and Reduces sideways Drift. Vikingships do not have anything like that or like a centerboard.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

@@friday3810 I wouldn't say that is quite true. While it's not a fin or centerboard, the keel of a viking ship did extend quite a bit below the hull and I would suspect it would have a similar effect.

[@friday3810]

@@Devin_Stromgren well when you take a look at plandrawings of viking ships you will find that a viking ships keel realy does not prodrude out of the hull that far. It for that reason can not have the same Effect as a modern sailboat keel. In modern sailboats you mainly need the centerboard or keel to ad lateral area to keep the boat from drifting to much. In oldfashioned sailships and viking ships you have a very diverent hull shape that by it selfe provides a lot of lateral area so you don't realy need a keel for that. At the same time modern Studie Show that the rather lose 'grip' of viking ships is a disirable Feature because the ship gets pushen sideways by Waves and high wind instead of getting tiped over. With a keel with more grip the danger of capsicing would be much greater. Also you have to consider that a viking ship is not realy as efficent in the reach as a modern sailboat. A modern sailboat can get as close to the wind as 30° while a viking ship can only reach 60° at best. By the way i'm a boatbuilder by profession so i have At least some idea what i'm talking about.
