Print on Demand. This book explores the historical origins and development of shipbuilding and nautical terminology in the Norse world. The author, an experienced scholar of the subject, delves into the archaeological record, linguistic evidence, and literary sources to shed light on the evolution of shipbuilding techniques from the Stone Age to the Viking Age. He examines the different types of boats used by the Norsemen, from simple rafts and skin-covered coracles to the iconic longships that carried them on their raiding and trading expeditions. Beyond the technical aspects of shipbuilding, the book also explores the cultural significance of boats in Norse society.
