Their recovery, conducted behind a cofferdam, required numbering and documenting thousands of waterlogged oak fragments, then reassembling each hull piece by piece—the largest naval puzzle in archaeology. The five reassembled ships are exhibited at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. Reconstructing a longship piece by piece: that is exactly the exercise this box offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📖 To learn more: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/drakkar-bateau-viking-construction-navigation\"\u003eThe longship, Viking ship: construction and navigation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete your Viking collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/maquette-drakkar-bois-decoration-viking-authentique\"\u003e1\/50 Wooden Viking Longship Model — construction kit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bouclier-viking-rond-48cm-cosplay-decoration\"\u003e48 cm Round Viking Shield — cosplay and decoration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/statue-odin-vagabond-lance-gungnir-resine\"\u003eOdin the Wanderer Statue, Gungnir spear\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57786751484286,"sku":"LCV-DRAKKAR-BRIQUES-001","price":79.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/drakkar-viking-briques-456-pieces-ambiance.jpg?v=1786052230","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/drakkar-viking-briques-456-pieces","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
