The Tuna Badelunda Boat

The original boat from the mid-9th century was excavated in Sweden.

Boats from the Viking Age were therefore more than just the famous clinker-built longships.

The boat is believed to have been built from pine wood and has been raised with an additional sewn-on plank on each side.

The ribs are made from juniper branches.
