Story
The Story Behind the Name
Historically, and especially in the literature, ancient Scandinavians, called Norsemen and sometimes Vikings, built marine vessels of unique design for transporting cargo, exploration, and war. These slender, symmetrical, and flexible boats ranged from the Baltic Sea to Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Newfoundland, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and Africa.
The legendary longship has been the centerpiece of Scandinavian culture for millennia. Its importance was already deeply rooted in the Scandinavian culture when the Viking Age began and they evolved into symbols of power and prowess.
Drekar, known from historical sources such as the 13th century Göngu-Hrólfs Saga, had a dragon's head protruding from the bow and circular object from the stern. Elegant and ornately decorated, the carvings had the purported effect to frighten enemies in battle.
No true dragon ship, as defined by the sagas, has been found by archaeological excavation.
At least, not yet.
