Viking Ships.


All the ships below were on display at the Vikingshipshuset (Viking Ship Museum). They were found in different conditions and different places. They were buried underground because they were used as burial vessels over 1,000 years ago. They were often dug up by robbers so many of the artifacts (mostly gold and precious jewels) were missing.


The Oseberg Ship.


The Tune Ship.


The Gokstad Ship.
