600-year-old #Viking #shipwreck is the largest of its kind. The medieval ‘cog’ was nearly 92 feet long and featured castles on its bow and stern. Link for more information and photos: www.popsci.com/science/larg...

So cool. If you ever go to Stockholm, Sweden, check out the Vasa ship museum. Incredible preservation of a ship built in 1623 & sank shortly on the day it was launched. #VasaShip

Don‘t recommend, please. Sure, it was our absolute highlight in Stockholm. It was just full enough as it was 😉

Agreed! It's a whole multi-story indoor museum built *around* the enormous wooden ship. Very very cool.

The viking era stopped 400ish years before the ship was built, and wasn't referred to as viking era for another few hundred years. Here are some real ones, sunk in Roskilde Fjord 1000 years ago. Trees used are dated to somewhere around 1025.

The Viking age ended 1066. Bullshit story

Cool 😎

“Archaeologists analyzed tree rings in its timber to estimate that Viking artisans constructed the cog in the Netherlands around 1410 CE.” That’s roughly 350 years after the Viking Age ended. 🧐

Yeah, but so many people are obsessed with everything ‘Viking’ right now everything has to be Viking something-or-other. At least if it is even vaguely Scandinavian.

Oslo just relicated some fragile w-ships in-door. Cost 100m EUR.

My first thought too - Fifteenth Century Vikings?

Uh-oh. Now Donnie Wonnie Dingdong will insist every American warship has castles... that are gilded.

That is likely not a viking ship (that era was long over), but rather a Dutch Hanze trading ship (cog or Kogge in Dutch). These vessels mainly sailed on the Northses and Baltic. Still appreciate you posting this information.

What depth is it in?

Wow Very cool

Something interesting and good happens in this world, once in a while.

600 years old? Wrong period for Vikings.

Part of Denmark's claim on North America?

Ответ для R L B

Good question. The Norwegians had Greenland first and might have reached North America at that time So Norway might have the claim 😁

Interesting for sure but perhaps is sank off the coast of Copenhagen it wasn't all that seaworthy?

Ответ для WarriorAngel

Well, accidents happen.

Ответ для WarriorAngel

Probably the load was not secured properly. That was the likely reason I read about. In that time that could sink a boat in a bad weather.

Whoa 🤯

They didn’t expect people to row that thing, did they?

Incredible! 😲

600 is not Viking.

Fuck around with a Viking and find out!!

It sounds like Rich oligarchy stuff to me.

Cogs have nothing to do with vikings. They were merchant vessels.

Whoa 😲 600 years and still in good condition? (from the looks of it)

I thought the wood would have rotted away into oblivion by now?

If the ship is from the 1400s it’s not a Viking ship

seattle shit and amoyherfucker

600 years ago so 1426 CE. Thus not Viking. Just Medieval Scandinavian.

Don't tell trump

Using the hashtag ‘Viking’ is inaccurate. This boat is 350-400 years after the Viking period - Scandinavia was fully Christian by this period. It’s a late medieval Cog. Still fantastic, but yeah…

Ответ для Mystalope

Very nitpicky, but the arrival of christianity has little to do with the end of the viking age. Lots of vikings were in fact christians.

It ain't Viking in 1410.

The Viking era stopped around 1066 and changed in historical references, so not medieval Viking

William The Conqueror ended the Viking era?
