Roskilde, Denmark 2002.	+	hese five Viking ships were deliberately sunk in the 11th century to form a blockade at the entrance to the harbor of Roskilde, Denmark. A large cofferdam was built around them in order to affect a more efficient excavation. All five vessels were conserved in polyethylene glycol and reassembled in a new museum overlooking the harbor.
		+	Planks of all these vessels ended fore and aft in elaborately shaped bow and stern timbers instead of the stem and stern rabbets as was common on earlier Viking ships. The following individual details should be noted:
		+
		+	No. 1 – A replica of this big merchant ship circumnavigated the globe in 1984-86.
		+	Original planking was of pine, although several repairs were made in oak. Strakes are slightly oval in cross-section. Rivets that join the laps are of iron.
		+	Frames are concave along their planking surfaces; only the edges touch the planks.
		+	The keelson was enlarged in the mast step area, where it was sided 36 cm and molded 25 cm.
		+
		+	No. 2 – This hull was long and narrow and was propelled by 30 pairs of oars and
		+	a squaresail. As in the vessel above, the keelson swelled in the mast step area. None of the Skuldelev keelsons ran the full length of the hull.
		+
		+	No. 3 – A small merchant vessel that was primarily propelled by sail, although
		+	seven oarports were found as well. This hull also had strakes that were oval in cross-section. The replica of this vessel was an extremely beautiful masterpiece. The hull was the best preserved of all five.
		+
		+	No. 5 (there was no number 4) – Twelve of thirteen pairs of oars propelled this
		+	hull. It had a three-piece keel joined by vertical scarfs; two more vertical scarfs joined it to the posts. The four lowest strakes are of oak, three upper strakes are of ash, while there is one plank of pine.
		+
		+	No. 6 – This was a small vessel, perhaps used for fishing or general inshore
		+	duties, hence it has been listed as a utility vessel. Planks also have elliptical cross sections. This vessel had the shortest keelson of all; at least the authors so classify it. I consider it too short to have provided longitudinal strength to the hull, hence I have designated it as a mast step in the tables.<sup>1</sup>
