The Gokstad ship features a row of supports along its gunwales where thirty-two shields were attached, painted alternately yellow and black. Archaeologists believe this was a parade arrangement, mounted when approaching a port or for a funeral ceremony: at sea, the shields would have obstructed the oars and caught sea spray. The image of a shield-laden longship speeding over waves is therefore accurate in its detail, but inaccurate in its context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo learn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/drakkar-bateau-viking-construction-navigation\" title=\"Viking Longship: Construction, Navigation and Expeditions\"\u003eour guide to the longship\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other items you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/casquette-viking-rune-algiz-brodee\" title=\"Embroidered Algiz Rune Viking Cap\"\u003eEmbroidered Algiz Rune Viking Cap\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/casquette-viking-vegvisir-brode-blanc\" title=\"White Embroidered Vegvísir Viking Cap\"\u003eWhite Embroidered Vegvísir Viking Cap\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/casquette-viking-valhalla-delavee\" title=\"Faded Valhalla Viking Cap\"\u003eFaded Valhalla Viking Cap\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"Marine","offer_id":57897060172158,"sku":"14:201800840;5:200003528","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal Blue","offer_id":57897060204926,"sku":"14:173;5:200003528","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":57897060237694,"sku":"14:1052;5:200003528","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":57897060270462,"sku":"14:193;5:200003528","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/casquette-viking-drakkar-vikings-france-ambiance.jpg?v=1787425863","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/casquette-viking-drakkar-vikings-france","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
