  1. Vikings on the Move Ariel Reich

  2. Slide 1 • Longships were tall and sleek, with a tall prow at each end topped by a carving of a dragon’s head or other figure. • They had large square sails colored with bright stripes. • Ten or more oars patterned each side for rowing.

  3. Slide 2 • Longships were also very fast. They were designed to cut through the water smoothly, with a prow at each end and a thin shape. • When there was no wind to fill the sail, rows of oarsmen would keep the ship on course.
