The Secrets of Viking Ships

The Secrets of Viking Shipsby ReadWorks

Today, the Vikings are mostly known as violent pirates and raiders. And it is true that Vikings did raid and destroy many towns and villages along coastlines, all the way from what is now northern Russia to Morocco. But the Vikings were also traders and merchants and didn't simply destroy things. They also built towns and markets of their own, including Hedeby, which in the 10th century had a population of 1,500, making it the largest trading town in northern Europe. At their height, the Vikings attacked, settled or traded on four continents. They were active all the way from Canada (they became the first Europeans to travel to the Americas) to present day Istanbul.

All of their travel, trade and warfare were made possible by Viking ships, which were far more advanced than anything else sailing around Europe at the time. The most famous, and most feared, was the drekar, or longship. At sea, these ships could move quickly thanks to their large sails. The hulls of the ships were shallow and fat, which made them ride high in the water. This meant they could be driven right onto beaches, where the soldiers would jump over the side to attack and plunder villages and cities. The ships were also light enough that they could be carried from one body of water to another over short sections of land called portages. This greatly extended their range.

The Secrets of Viking Ships

drekar ships were found off the coast of Roskilde, formerly the capital of Denmark, between 1957 and 1962. The longest drekar measured 119 feet long with a crew of 100 men and space for 72 oars. With its gigantic sail, shallow hull and so many oarsmen, the ship must have been incredibly fast and highly maneuverable.

But Viking ships weren't just built for warfare. Another type, called the knarr or ocean-going ship, had cargo holds built into the bow and stern. One such cargo ship discovered near Roskilde was capable of carrying 24 tons, or 48,000 pounds. The knarrs would have looked similar to the drekars except they were longer, fatter and taller, and the space dedicated to cargo left less room for oarsmen. These were the backbones of the Viking empire, which they used to carry everything from gold coins to timber, spices and fine fabrics.

Both the drekar and the knarr were built using the same method called the clinker method. Traditionally, oceangoing ships have used a keel, shaped like the fin of a fish. The keel sinks into the water below the hull. It helps the ship maintain a straight line through the water and counters the force of the wind against the sail, which otherwise might blow the ship over. Traditional ships are also built with ribs which function just like the ribs on a human being, starting at the spine and growing out in a curve to protect the space inside.

Using the clinker system, Viking ships had no deep keel. Instead they were built fat enough to carry lots of soldiers or pieces of cargo whose weight helped keep the ship planted in the water. The construction process started with a heavy piece of wood at the bottom. From there, oak tree trunks were split into long, thin planks. Two planks were fastened to the bottom piece, and then each plank was fastened to the one before it like overlapping shingles on the roof of a house. A massive beam was laid across the bottom to strengthen it and also to support the mast. Finally, crossbeams were laid inside to create a deck and benches for oarsmen to sit. The result was sturdy, fast and light.

Viking ships were so advanced for their time they often were the biggest, tallest and most striking ships many people had ever seen. The Vikings made them even more intimidating using bright colors and intricate designs. A monk at the St. Omer Monastery, in France, wrote this description of a royal Viking ship in 1013:

"On one side lions molded in gold were to be seen on the ships, on the other birds on the tops of the masts indicated by their movements the winds as they blew, or dragons of various kinds poured fire from their nostrils...."

The description makes clear that Vikings were not simple marauders. They built a wealthy empire through trade as well as plunder and used their wealth to continuously improve their ships.

Possible answer: The product of a positive number and a negative number is always negative, and the product of two negative numbers is always positive.

Possible answer: The product of two negative numbers is positive. The product of a positive number and a negative number is negative. The product of three negative numbers is negative because the product of the first two factors is positive. That positive factor is then multiplied by a negative number, resulting in a negative product. The product of four negative numbers is positive because the product of each pair of negative factors is positive and then the product of two positive numbers is positive.

Graphic Organizer

The Social Studies goal this week is to review your skill of examining a source and apply that skill using two sources. Read through the Graphic Organizer and Big Idea Card. Then follow the directions for Comparing Sources Activity.

Big Idea Card

Big Ideas of the Lesson

• “Historical events happen once and then “disappear.” Since we cannot study historical events directly, historians rely on whatever evidence the event has left behind.

• Historians analyze this evidence (primary and secondary sources) for

accuracy. • Two ways to evaluate the accuracy of a source are by exploring internal

consistency and external consistency. • Internal consistency means that the facts within the source do not contradict

each other. • External consistency means that the facts within the source can be

corroborated “against” other sources.

Comparing Sources

Directions: Below are two sources dealing with factory conditions in England during the 1830s. Read both sources and answer the questions that follow. Document #1: The Sadler Committee Report: In 1832 there was a committee that investigated life in the factories for the workers. It was called the Sadler Committee. One of the first people called in to testify was Elizabeth Bentley, a twenty-three year old woman who started working in the factory when she was SIX YEARS OLD. Here are the questions and her answers taken directly from the transcript of the investigation.

Elizabeth Bentley, called in; and Examined. What age are you? --Twenty-three. What time did you begin to work at a factory? --When I was six years old. At whose factory did you work? --Mr. Busk's. What kind of mill is it? --Flax-mill. What were your hours of labour in that mill? --From 5 in the morning till 9 at night, when they were thronged. For how long a time together have you worked that excessive length of time? --For about half a year. What were your usual hours when you were not so thronged? --From 6 in the morning till 7 at night. What time was allowed for your meals? --Forty minutes at noon. Had you any time to get your breakfast or drinking? --No, we got it as we could. And when your work was bad, you had hardly any time to eat it at all? --No; we were obliged to leave it or take it home, and when we did not take it, the overlooker took it, and gave it to his pigs. Do you consider doffing a laborious employment? --Yes. Explain what it is you had to do? --When the frames are full, they have to stop the frames, and take the flyers off, and take the full bobbins off, and carry them to the roller; and then put empty ones on, and set the frame going again. Does that keep you constantly on your feet? --Yes, there are so many frames, and they run so quick.

Page 21: Instructional Packet - Lapeer Schools

7th Grade Social Studies SS070104

Oakland Schools Page 4 of 6

Your labour is very excessive? --Yes; you have not time for anything. Suppose you flagged a little, or were too late, what would they do? --Strap us. Are they in the habit of strapping those who are last in doffing? --Yes. Constantly? --Yes. Girls as well as boys? --Yes. Have you ever been strapped? --Yes. Severely? --Yes. Could you eat your food well in that factory? --No, indeed I had not much to eat, and the little I had I could not eat it, my appetite was so poor, and being covered with dust; and it was no use to take it home, I could not eat it, and the overlooker took it, and gave it to the pigs. You are speaking of the breakfast? --Yes. How far had you to go for dinner? --We could not go home to dinner. Where did you dine? --In the mill. Did you live far from the mill? --Yes, two miles. Had you a clock? --No, we had not. Supposing you had not been in time enough in the morning at these mills, what would have been the consequence? --We should have been quartered. What do you mean by that? --If we were a quarter of an hour too late, they would take off half an hour; we only got a penny an hour, and they would take a halfpenny more. The fine was much more considerable than the loss of time? -Yes.

Document 2: Edward P. Cheyney: An Introduction to the Industrial and Social History. Chautauqua, New York: The Chautauqua Press, 1910. This source is an account of factory conditions of the time of the Sadler Committee. It was written by Edward P. Cheyney, an historian writing in 1901.

Children from seven years of age upward were engaged by the hundreds from London and the other

large cities, and set to work in the cotton spinning factories of the north. Since there were no other

facilities for boarding them, “apprentice houses" were built for them in the vicinity of the factories,

where they were placed under the care of superintendents or matrons. The conditions of life among

these pauper children were, as might be expected, very hard. They were remotely situated, apart

from the observation of the community, left to the burdens of unrelieved labor and the harshness of

small masters or foreman. Their hours of labor were excessive. When the demands of trade were

active they were often arranged in two shifts, each shift working twelve hours, one in the day and

another in the night, so that it was a common saying in the north that “their beds never got cold," one

set climbing into bed as the other got out. When there was no night work the day work was the

longer. They were driven at their work and often abused. Their food was of the coarsest description,

and they were frequently required to eat it while at their work, snatching a bite as they could while

the machinery was still in motion. Much of the time which should have been devoted to rest was

spent in cleaning the machinery, and there seems to have been absolutely no effort made to give

them any education or opportunity for recreation.

The sad life of these little waifs, overworked, underfed, neglected, abused, in the factories and

barracks in the remote glens of Yorkshire and Lancashire, came eventually to the notice of the

outside world. Source: Cheyney, Edward P. An Introduction to the Industrial and Social History.

Questions about the Sources

1. What are the differences between these two sources? 2. If you were studying factory life in Britain between 1800 and 1851, would these both be

“primary sources?” One? None? Briefly explain. 3. Which of these two accounts makes factory working conditions seem more real to you?

Why? 4. Which of the accounts is probably more reliable? Why? 5. Do you think that Edward Cheyney used testimony like Elizabeth Bentley’s to write his

account? Why or why not? 6. Historians do not include everything in their accounts. How do you think Mr. Cheyney

decided what to include? What do you think made something important enough to include in Cheyney’s account?
