    Summary

    [edit]
    Description
    English: 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.

    Photo taken on August 24th, 2019 showing a group of tourists on board the viking ship on 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, gently manoeuver the vessel towards the pier for mooring.

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