Skuldelev ships at Roskilde (c. 1070)
On the Norse and Aztecs map as “Roskilde — the Skuldelev ships”
c. 1070 — Five ships were deliberately sunk to block the channel to Roskilde, including a warship built near Dublin around 1042 and an ocean-going cargo ship from western Norway. Raised in 1962, they show the range of Norse shipbuilding, from trading vessels to 30-metre warships.
