The 7.7m-long Gislingebåden from 1100 CE was ‘both the last Viking ship and the first medieval ship’.

A replica is being built at Aarhus harbour by a group of young people using the traditional Nordic clinker boat-building techniques that UNESCO recognises as being part of the 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’.

There's a similar project going on in Woodbridge, Suffolk, to recreate the ship that was buried at Sutton Hoo. Wonderful to see! saxonship.org/the-project/

The Project - The Sutton Hoo Ship's Company

The Sutton Hoo Ship Project Long long ago, an Anglo-Saxon noble was buried within a 90 foot ship in a mound at Sutton Hoo, just across the river from Woodbridge, in Suffolk. He was almost certainly King Raedwald, who died c.624.
