Not much of a “ship”. Those Vikings were cray-cray.

Not much of a ship, that explains how they sailed to North America, reached Constantinople over rivers, portages, and the Black Sea, conquered Normandy and Sicily... :^)

OTOH, that doesn’t negate your analysis — they went cray-cray on the rest of Europe for 250-300 years. :^)

I'm always amazed at how small those things were. They'd carry over 2 dozen men for weeks or months. I doubt if they could all recline at the same time.
