Ahoy there, landlubbers! Get ready to set sail with the Oseberg Ship, a remarkable find from Norway's Viking Age that's captured the imagination of archeologists and history buffs alike. Discovered in 1904, this 9th-century oak vessel spans over 21 metres and is adorned with stunning carvings depicting animals and Norse mythology. But its allure doesn't stop there - the Oseberg Ship served as the final resting place for two high-ranking Viking women, which archeologists found surrounded by a treasure trove of artefacts.

Discoveries such as intricately woven textiles, household items, tools, and even sledges and animal remains paint a vivid picture of Viking society, trade, and burial customs, while the remarkably well-preserved wood of the ship provided invaluable insights into ancient Norse shipbuilding techniques.
