Everybody in the world at that time period had boats that were coastal, that you could only travel around on coastal areas, but this Viking longship is going to give them the ability to not only navigate rivers and coasts but the deep ocean as well. These were swift machines, low draft, they could travel in shallow water. They weren't just coastal, they could be carried across land. It only took them six weeks to make one of these puppies. It could travel over 150 miles a day and it could carry 60 men. So this is going to give them the ability to do what you know Vikings do really well, which is plunder. And now it would be the most masculine group of men, these Norse soldiers with their weapons of war, battle axes, swords and knives, armor and their cool helmets without the horns and they jump on the boat and they go find some awesome resources.
