  1. Viking Ship By Peter

  2. How Do Vikings travel So Safely? • They have good strong longboats that can carry many men • They have sturdy sails that doesn’t rip often.

  3. What makes long boats so safe • Vikings were excellent shipbuilders so the boat was strong • The boat had a keel • The ship had a low mast and a small sail • Good ship building technique

  4. What is a keel A keel is the long bottom part of a ship that allows the ship to be tall and wide and not sink. The keel makes the ship steady in water and not flip over by a small wave

  5. Why does the ship need a shot sail and a small mast? If a ship has a short mast the weight will decrease so the base wont break through in serious conditions. The small sail wont get affected by too much wind on very windy days at sea, and can wobble without taking in any water Sail Mast

  6. Building teqnique 1 Vikings make keel first usually out of oak. 2 They make the sides using long planks(strakes) 3Inner ribs and cross beams are added for strength 4Oar holes are cut out, rudder is attached to the back and a large block is cut out to hold the mast steady Sails are attached and are coated with animal fat for water proof.

  7. Vikings were excellent navigators • Vikings were excellent navigators so they did not get lost • They knew the speed of their boat by their feeling • They knew when a small or big wave was going to come

  8. What I Learned • I did not know anything about ships except that it had a mast and a sail • This was the first time I heard of a keel or saw how a boat was made

  9. Why is this important? • This is important because people who make boats use some of these methods to build boats • They use keels • They know how to make a boat that doesn’t sink

  10. The END Mr Sweeney’s Hum * Viking Project The Last Part Yay!!!!!!!!!
