Viking Longships

The Vikings had these boats which they called Longships. The way they built them was gathering lots of wood and overlap the planks. When they did that they called it Clinker Building. There are different names for different parts of the Longships. The middle part of the ship is called the hull and another part terrified other people and people called it the dragons head. Longships can sail very quickly over all rivers and seas. For a Longship to sail from Scandinavia to Iceland, it would take 7 days. Nowadays the way we would build Viking Longships would be bending thin planks so that it's curved then stick it together with wood glue.
