The Oseberg Viking ship
This ship was unearthened in 1904 out
of a burial mound near Tønsberg in Norway. Two women were buried
- probably mistress and slave....
It was built some time around 815-820
AD. Then, in 834 AD, it was put into a bed of blue clay and covered with
turf, which kept the oxygen out, and protected the wood from breaking
down....
Stem & stern-shots....
