Summary[edit]

Description
English: ;Main subject:

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

In detail

Photo taken on August 24th, 2019 showing a group of tourists on board the viking ship on a summer day (viewed from the Kaldnes bro, a bascule footbridge vippebru/gangbru across the water). The active passengers are sitting by the oars, rowing as the shipmaster standing by the steering oar on the starboard side at the stern, manoeuver the vessel towards the pier for mooring. In the background are seen the dock on the city center side, with a board walk, some restaurants, hotels, yachts (fritidsbåter) as well as the office building of Tønsbergs Blad, a local newspaper, and the Slottsfjellstårnet tower on the Slottsfjellet hill.

About viking ships

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 or board (rudder, styreåre, ror) as well as both oars and a mast and a sail.
