The Vikings were famous for their longships. They were graceful, lightweight, symmetrical wooden ships with shallow keels that had both sails and oars. They were built to navigate rough seas as well as to be quick to manoeuver and light enough to carry across land for a bit. And thanks to their shallow keel, they could go up rivers and manage beach landings. These traits made them perfect for making lightning quick attacks: the Vikings were off before forces could be gathered against them. These ships made the Vikings able to travel far and wide to raid, trade or settle down. Many ships also had beautiful carvings of dragons and other fantastic beasts.

This is a rich dark golden brown inspired by the tarred wood the longships were made of.
