Vikings

Vikings

Long ships:

The ship could hold up to 60

warriors. They are very expensive

to build. Only rich vikings could

afford bigger boats. Shields are

on the side of the boat to protect

the warriors from things

attacking it.

The sails:

The sails are made of cotton sewed by ladies and girls. They also need fat and tar [ by animals] to strength it. They are also square and different colour depending on the type of boat. Also they are 10 by 10 meters long.

Dragon heads:

The dragon heads scare the

enemies away and is a sign

of vikings! It took ages for

them to carve a perfect

dragon head. The head

was mostly a dragon

or a snake. It was also

made of wood.

Vikings:

Vikings originated from

Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. They invaded England because they wanted better farmlands.
