Summary[edit]

Description
English: Saga Oseberg on the Byfjorden, a part of the Tønsbergfjorden fiord, in the harbour of Tønsberg, Norway (Tønsberg havn / Tønsberg Brygge / Gjestebrygga / Brygga). The ship is a 2012 built replica (kopi i full skala) of the Oseberg Ship (in Norwegian: Osebergskipet), a Viking ship from ca. AD 830 discovered in a burial mound near Tønsberg.

Photo taken on August 26th, 2019 showing a group of school children / students on board, sitting by the oars, as the crew members mooring the vessel to the pier (a floating dock, flytebrygge). In the background are seen the Kaldnes Brygge apartements area. The faces of the students are blurred out.

Ship sizes in the Viking Age varied according to use. Trading vessels were broader and higher for cargo, warships longer and lower for speed. The Oseberg ship is a karve, a small type of longship used for war, ordinary transport and coasting. The hull is broad and shallow, and the bow and stern are decorated with woodcarvings. The ship is equipped with a steering oar (rudder, styreåre, ror) as well as both oars and a mast and a sail.
