Viking ships

viking boats were called Longboats. The vikings would carve dragon heads on the frount of the boats to scare away sea mosters and spirts. Longboats were mainly used for going on rads or quests. The hull of the boats was made out of oeverlaping planks of wood that was held togeather with rivets. The Longboats were pointed at each end but wide in the middle, witch ment the could go in __quite__ shallow water. The Longboats had sails but for when it wasn't windy the vikings carried ores on the Longboats. And sometimes when they needed to go very fast the vikings used the ores and the sail to quickly cut though the water.
