How Viking Ships Were Built Without Modern Tools

Описание: The Vikings conquered oceans and rivers, striking fear and awe wherever their dragon-headed longships appeared. But how did they construct such formidable, seaworthy vessels, capable of crossing vast seas, all without a single modern tool?

This video dives deep into the astonishing craftsmanship of Viking shipbuilders, revealing the ingenious techniques that allowed them to build ships designed to last millennia. Discover their secret: the art of splitting timber along the grain (not sawing!), using nothing more than axes and wooden wedges to create incredibly strong, flexible planks. Learn about their iconic clinker-built hulls where overlapping planks were meticulously riveted, sealed with tarred animal hair, creating hulls that flexed with the waves. From their simple yet effective hand tools to their intuitive understanding of wood and design, uncover the engineering marvels that made Viking ships the undisputed kings of the ancient seas.
