Making Viking Boat

Viking ships were marine vessels of unique structure, built by the vikings during the viking age.. the boat-types were quite varied, depending on what the ship was intended for, but they were generally characterized as being slender and flexible boats, with symmetrical ends with true keel.they were clinker built, which is the overlapping of planks riveted together.. Dragon ships were large longships that had carved heads of dragons and other magical beings mounted on their bow. this video shows some glances from the construction of such a ship: dragon harald. This month we've been studying the vikings and we decided to create our model of a viking longship. hopefully this is helpful if you're looking for inspiration to create your own boat. :).
