Uwe, thank you so much for all the photos. You did mention you took some shots of the ship itself? Is it possible to share those? Ships and boats are a big facination with me.

Thank you,

Dane

Wow! - thanks!  :D Pictures like these makes it so much easier to grasp how they were shaped and decorated.
I definitely have to visit the museum some day! Totally cool 8)

Feathers from seaeagles? I didn't know feathers were preserved. That's pretty amazing! Recently there has been found a couple of arrows here in Norway with preserved feathers too, but these were found by melting snowdrifts. They haven't been analyzed yet though.

Thanks again Uwe!

Oh, by the way, were the decoration on the belly or the back, or both? How deep would you say they were carved?

Uwe, thank you for putting the ship photos up. What a beauty she is! Lapstrake construction, similar to a Norse ship? Did they find a great deal of seafaring gear in the ship? Rope, clothings, things of that nature?

@ jachcrafty: No dimensions. Even not the remains of the original was to be seen This quiver was made as I think by Harm Paulsen, an experimental archaeologist. But if did this quiver, I think it must give an original.
@ Dane: I think there are only the rudders. But your question about clothing: in this Nydam Hall there are also the findings of Thorsberg another moor, where weapons and soon were sacrificed. A trouser, called "Thorsberg Hose", is displayed. Somewhere I have an cut of the original for repro. But the Repro is dificult, because you won`t find the correct cloth easily. Its called "Diamant Köper". I haven`t seen it. Maybe "Google" helps.
Yes Dane , your right its the construction of the shipbuilding in viking times.
Regards Uwe

I am familiar with the Thorsberg trousers, Uwe. They have feet built in, so no need for socks. I'm guessing they were cut on the bias, and fit closely.

I wonder if anyone has build a replica of the ship? It looks very seaworthy and fast. She sailed with sail, or just ores?

In Germanys past, better the 3. Reich there had been made a replica of this ship. It had been built near Bremen, and has been an "accessoir" in a few films of that time, when the old German tribes played the star role in some german (austrian) heads. I think a part or the complete title of one film was "Deutscher Wald", or similar.

Wonderful reproduction. And thank you very much for all those pics of the originals. I have a great fascination with those bows.

I will assume that replica is long gone, then. A shame, too, as this ship would look amazing under sail or ore.

Yes, but this kind of ship had been only skulled. There were no remains of sailingitems found.
