What kind of self-respecting ship is 30 feet wide and 45 feet long? That's a tub.

A boat that is designed for transporting cargo back and forth along a river. Or armed men from one side of a river to another.

Well, they obviously were not contending for the America's Cup.

Those vikings. Took all the blondes and snakes, left their red haired neanderthal calling cards on every corner.

I seem to recall that that is what gave the vikings the edge for so long. Seaworthy ships that could still sail/row up shallow rivers and get behind a city's main coastal defenses.

I also recall that usually they could move/carry the boats over land for short distances etc.
