History[]
| โ | King Olaf Tryggvason raided England in the late 10th century CE. With the loot that he garnered, he commissioned the Long Serpent, perhaps the largest Norse ship ever constructed, a vessel supposedly over 140 feet long that could carry hundreds of men. "The ship was a dragon...but this ship was far larger, and more carefully put together in all her parts. The king called this ship the Long Serpent... The Long Serpent had thirty-four benches for rowers. The head and the arched tail were both gilt, and the bulwarks were as high as in sea-going ships. This ship was the best and most costly ship ever made in Norway." -- Snorri Sturluson, Heimskringla |
