The Tune Ship - Oslo, Norway - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

Wikipedia's brief entry (visit link) informs us:

"The Tune ship (Tuneskipet) is a Viking era ship exhibited in the Viking Ship Museum in Bygdøy, Oslo.

The "karv" type ship was found at Haugen farm on Rolvsøy in Tune, Østfold, Norway. The ship was built around AD 900, and is made of clinkered oak planks. It was found in a boat burial mound (Norwegian:Båthaugen, from the Old Norse word haugr meaning mound or barrow). The site was excavated by archaeologist Oluf Rygh in 1867.

The ship is fragmentary, but may have been up to 22 m long. It is 4.35 m wide and would have had 11 or 12 pairs of oars. The length of the keel is ca 14 metres. It is of rugged construction with naturally grown ribs, thick crossbeams and a solid gunwale."
