EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning replica of the Gokstad Ship, a Viking vessel from approximately 900 A.D., is on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany. Originally discovered near Gokstad, Norway, this well-preserved ship was found in a burial mound, providing valuable insights into the shipbuilding techniques and navigation methods of the Scandinavian Vikings during the 9th and 10th centuries. The Gokstad Ship is a prime example of the advanced seafaring capabilities of the Vikings, who were known for their exploration and trade across Europe and beyond. Measuring 23.2 meters in length and 5.2 meters in width, this impressive vessel was built using oak timbers and secured with iron rivets. The ship's sleek design and narrow hull allowed it to navigate through rough waters with ease, making it an ideal choice for long voyages. This meticulously crafted replica, which is displayed in a diorama at the museum, is a testament to the historical significance of the original Gokstad Ship. Visitors can observe the ship's intricate details, including its square sail, which was raised and lowered using a vertical mast, and its distinctive dragon head and tail, which adorned the bow and stern. The Gokstad Ship is just one of the many masterpieces of technology and history on display at the Deutsches Museum, which is dedicated to showcasing the scientific and technological achievements of Europe and the world. With its rich collection of artifacts and interactive exhibits, the museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the innovations that have shaped our world.
