Dragon ships were large longships that had carved heads of dragons and other magical beings mounted on their bow. This video shows some glances from the construction of such a ship: Dragon Harald Fairhair. We are using the best of the old Norwegian clinker-building tradition and combining this with knowledge obtained from archaeological material, Norse literature etc. Our aim is to recreate a ship with superb seaworthiness - as described in the Old Norse sagas.
