Book Synopsis Viking-age Ships and Shipbuilding in Hedeby/Haithabu and Schleswig by : Ole Crumlin-Pedersen
Book excerpt: Ships and shipbuilding were important elements of Viking culture and a precondition for trade, warfare and conquest. The important excavations at the Viking towns of Hedeby and Schleswig-Holstein revealed a rich body of finds of wrecks and parts of ships. This is a report on this material and also examines the role of the towns as ports and the role of trading in their development.
