They were commonly thought to have been from ships dating to the Viking Age (A.D. 793 to 1066). Interesting that the date bracketing a seafaring power would be the successful Norseman land battle at Hastings.

built in the innovative "carvel" style Well, I learned something here. At first I thought this was a spelling mistake. I am familiar with the caravel type of ship used by the Portuguese and Spanish. I didn't know about "carvel". Turns out it's significant.

Significant to me is that the "experts" were so wrong in dating the wreck --- in the neighborhood of 600 years.
This style of construction was not used in the Viking era. Also, the size of the vessel --- too large for a Viking longboat, imho.
