Viking warship Skuldelev 2
The model is based on the Longship, called Skuldelev 2 after the site of its discovery. The original was built mostly of oak wood around 1060 in Dublin, Ireland. The ship was 30 m long and 3.8 m wide. The ship could have carried 60-100 Viking warriors. The boat was propelled by a large rectangular sail and, in the event of no wind, 60 oars.

However, the domain is historic wooden boats of the golden age of sailing ships, as a business, wartime or royal English, Spanish galleries, schooners, ships of famous explorers or Viking and, for us, exotic East Asian ships.
The road to a self-built boat
Anyone who desires a self-made boat must prepare to be busy in the evenings for many weeks or months.

The kit contains mainly basic building materials, building bases and many small or miniature parts and decorations. However, this work will give you an insight into the ins and outs of ship construction, the history of real ships and can often lead you to a community of people who share your passion for ship modelling.
