History:

The Drakka, or Viking longship, was the iconic vessel of the Norse seafarers from the 8th to 11th centuries. Renowned for their speed, agility, and shallow draft, these ships enabled the Vikings to explore, trade, raid, and settle across Europe, from the rivers of Russia to the coasts of the British Isles.

Built with overlapping planks (clinker construction) and a single square sail, Drakkas could navigate both open seas and shallow rivers, making them versatile instruments of exploration and warfare. The distinctive dragon-headed prow served both as a symbol of power and to intimidate enemies, while the long, narrow hull allowed for swift rowing and smooth sailing.

Today, the Drakka remains a symbol of Viking ingenuity, maritime skill, and adventurous spirit—celebrated in museums, replicas, and meticulously crafted models that honor their enduring legacy.
