As well as including well-known vessels such as the spectacular ship-burials from Gokstad and Oseberg in southern Norway; Viking Ships introduces the newly-conserved Roskilde 6 ship from Denmark. Measuring at over 37 metres; this is the longest Viking ship ever discovered and will form the core of the touring exhibition Vikings: life and legend. The Vikings used their shipbuilding skills to command the sea; their famous ships permitted the exploration; colonization and the raids for which they are best known. This book will explore the evolution of their sea-going vessels and celebrate this outstanding feature of the Viking Age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gareth Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0714123404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714123400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Museum Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 6.70w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/25\/2014 pg. 55","brand":"Gareth Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48807328350463,"sku":"9780714123400","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-viking-ship-gareth-williams-9780714123400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
