A thousand years have passed since the Viking age, but it’s still a wonder how the Vikings sailed the seas so skillfully in the early Middle Ages.
It’s generally accepted that the pride of their fleet were their drakkars. These Viking warships were both sturdy and very fast, thanks to their special design.
It is believed that the word “drakkar” originates from the Old Norse words “dreki” and “kar,” which mean “dragon” and “ship,” respectively. The dragon head on the bow wasn’t there just to intimidate enemies but also to emphasize the importance of the ship’s owner. When preparing for peaceful encounters, Viking sailors would remove the figurehead from the bow or disguise it somehow in order not to incur the ire of the spirits.
