| Summary: | In 1880, the third Gokstad boat (G3) was excavated together with the Gokstad ship in Sandefjord, Norway. The Viking boat is clinker-built, about 8 m long, has five strakes and four pairs of rowlocks. We have documented, pieced together, and interpreted 223 fragments of the boat. We present the documented fragments in the context of two other small boats from the same excavation. We have explored the value of the source material and how G3 could throw light on the other boats recovered. We show that there is room for a wide range of interpretations of the shapes of these three boats. |
