Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Saga Oseberg moored to the pier at the harbour of Tønsberg, Norway (Tønsberg havn / Tønsberg Brygge / Gjestebrygga / Brygga). The ship is built in 2012 as a replica (kopi i full skala) of the Norwegian Oseberg Ship (Osebergskipet), a Viking ship from ca. AD 830 discovered in a burial mound near Tønsberg.

Photo taken on August 25th, 2019 showing a photographer documenting the ship. In the background to the left is the Kaldnes bro, a bascule footbridge (vippebru / gangbru) crossing the Byfjorden, a part of the Tønsbergfjorden fiord, going from the town center to the Kaldnes Brygge apartements area.

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 used for war, ordinary transport and coasting, having a broad, shallow hull, a steering oar, bow and stern decorated with woodcarvings, etc. and equipped with both oars and a sail.
