Viking dragon ship
Very detailed crafted Viking dragon ship, made of sterling silver. As a talisman,
a Viking ship is often given as a gift for protection on trips and activities.
The success of the Vikings, which shaped a whole period of time, was due, among other things, to their shipbuilding skills
to lead back. Their unique dragon boats were so perfectly thought out thatß not just extremely
were fast, but their appearance also aroused fear in their enemies.
With these ships, which were also suitable for the high seas, they were able to travel far away
via new sea routes travel to foreign countries. Since their arrival was usually associated with violence and looting,
the seafarers feared and terrified throughout Europe, in parts of North Africa, and even as far as America.
The combination of rowing power and large, striking sails made it the fastest
Viking boats at almost 40 kilometers per hour. Through the use of so-called sun stones were
they are even able to determine the position of the sun
even in heavy cloud cover or at dusk to measure for reference.
The most important construction types of the Viking ships were the longships used as warships and the
so-called Knorr, daß was built wider and higher and thus served as a transport ship for goods.
