The Drakkar, a ship utilized by Scandinavian seafarers for trade, exploration, and conquest, evolved significantly from the 9th to 13th centuries. Inspired by drawings from an 1880 Gokstad grave find, the modern Drakkar or Viking Longship measures 77 ft. 11 in. long with a 16 ft. 7 in. breadth and 5 ft. 9 in. depth. Propelled by one square sail and 16 oars per side, it could reach speeds of 10-15 knots with wind assistance. Its shallow draft and lightweight construction allowed operations in rivers and on land, while its klinker oak hull design provided excellent seaworthiness.
