Saga Oseberg moored to the pier at the harbour of Tønsberg, Norway (in Norwegian: Tønsberg havn/Tønsberg Brygge/Gjestebrygga/Brygga).

About viking ships

Ship sizes in the Viking Age varied according to use. Trading vessels were broader and higher for cargo, warships longer and lower for speed. The Oseberg ship is a karve, a small type of longship with broad, shallow hull, used for war, ordinary transport and coasting, with oars, sail, a broad steering oar, and decorated bow and stern.
