When I was at the Copenhagen Viking Museum in 2001, I saw this replica being built. It and others from different locations came to a Viking meeting at Haithabu in 2012. That would have been an event to witness.

In 1980, Denmark issued this stamp |

Not all Viking ships were war vessels with square sails, oars and shields, some were trading ships, like this one |

Scientists in the museum were trying to reassemble an excavated longboat, using a new frame for the ancient planks |
 |
They had this part of the longboat built to scale, because that part was not recoverable |
 |
The whole assmbly will go something like this, merging old and new pars for a big display - I do not know if they completed it since I saw it |
 |
Swords that must have belonged to wealthier Viking warriors |

An outstanding render by science illustrator Jochen Stuhrmann (possibly using Cinema 4D) that I linked to his Website |
 |
Some fine examples of Viking jewelry Unfortunately, the camera lens slipped on the glass |

A parting look from the Shield Wall giving an idea of the scale of this settlement |
