Knarr viking ship
Replica of a barge from the 11th century
History:
A "Knarr" (also Knorr) is the name given to a Viking cargo sailing ship
that was wider, shorter and altogether stouter than the known longships. Knarr
were very robust and seaworthy ships intended for trade and longer sea voyages.
The model resembles the Knarr found near the village of Skuldelev in Denmark,
which became known as "Skuldelev I". The original was built in Norway between
1030 and 1050, using mainly oak and spruce as building materials. The ship was
about 16.3 metres long and had a displacement of about 24 tons.
