Longship

The UK did not exist in the Viking Age and "Isles" in "British Isles" doesn't refer exclusively to Ireland, which is why we don't try to segment links in a term like this.)

Eivor commanding a longship

A longship was a type of ship used widely by the Vikings during their explorations and conquests.

In the 9th century, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir commanded one while traversing the British Isles.[1]

Characteristics

As the name suggests, longships were long and slender wooden ships. The bow was often decorated with carven, stylized figureheads.[2] During travel, shields were kept on the sides of the ship, within easy reach.[3]
