A 9th-century Viking ship, it was discovered in 1880 in a tomb mound in Gokstad, Norway. It is constructed of plywood and is mainly used for war, trade, and the transportation of people and goods. The crew is about 40 to 70 people, and the maximum speed can reach 11-12 knots. Through the analysis of the annual rings of the wood, it is determined that the ship was built in about 890 years. The design and construction techniques demonstrate the advanced Viking shipbuilding skills as a powerful marine vehicle and a noble burial place for Viking chiefs, reflecting the social importance of the ship in Viking culture. Preserved at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo
