Summary[edit]

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

Photo taken on August 26th, 2019 showing the aft/stern decorated with woodcarvings as well as the broad steering oar/rudder (akterstavn pynta med utskjæringer og styreåre/ror på styrbord side). On the other side of the Byfjorden fiord, is seen the Kaldnes apartements aera.

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 with broad, shallow hull, used for war, ordinary transport and coasting, with oars, sail, a broad steering oar, and decorated bow and stern.
