Viking Ships

They had a dragon head from the front and back. Viking ships were able to navigate rivers and shallow water where the others couldn’t trade.

There were 2 types of ships:

The knarr were built for Atlantic voyages. They were cargo ships that could carry up to 24 tons.

Longships were a type of small ships similar to the Knarr. They were used for human transport and to carry goods.
