Image Olav Trygvasons saga Ormen lange Halfdan Egedius.jpg thumb Ormen Lange by Halfdan Egedius Other uses Ormen Lange disambiguation Ormen Lange The Long Serpent was one of the most famous of the Viking longship s. It was built for the Norwegian King Olav Tryggvason , and was the largest and most powerful longship of its day. In the late 990s King Olav was on a Crusade around the country to bring Christianity to Norway. When he was traveling north to H logaland he came to a petty kingdom in today s Skjerstad, where the king named Raud den ramme refused to convert to Christianity. A battle ensued, during which Saltstraumen Saltstraum , a maelstrom that prevented reinforcements to the king s men, forced the King to flee. He continued up north, but returned some weeks later when the maelstrom was weaker. The king won the battle, captured Raud, and gave him two choices Die or convert. The Sagas say that Olav tried to convert him but Raud cursed the name of Jesus, and the King became so angry that he stuck a kvanstilk a pipe down his throat and put a snake into it, then a burning iron to force the snake down his throat. The snake ate its way out of the side of the torso of Raud and killed him. After the victory the king confiscated riches, not least of which was Raud s ship, which he rechristened Ormen The Serpent . He took it to Trondheim and used it as a design for his own new ship, which he made a couple of rooms longer than Ormen and named the ship Ormen Lange. The ship reportedly had 34 rooms , i.e. was built with 34 pairs of oars, for a crew of 68 rowers and additional crew members . Extrapolating from archeological evidence e.g. the Gokstad ship , this would make Ormen Lange nearly 45 meters long. The ship s sides were unusually high, as high as that of a Knarr . The ship was the last to be taken in the Battle of Svolder where Olav was killed although his body was never found and some stories tell of the king jumping into the water either sinking due to the weigh ... more details

Knarrer routinely crossed the North Atlantic carrying livestock and stores to Norse settlements in Iceland and Greenland as well as trading goods to trading posts in the British Isles , Continental Europe and possibly the Middle East . The only knarr found to be well preserved was in a shallow channel in Roskilde Fjord in Denmark of 1962 along with two warships, a Baltic trader, and a ferryboat. Archaeologists believe that the ships were placed there to block the channel against enemy raiders.

refimprove date September 2011 distinguish2 the Vikings longship For the ship MV Longboat In the days of sailing ships, a vessel would carry several ship s boat s for various uses. One would be a longboat , an open boat to be rowed by eight or ten oarsmen, two per thwart . In other words the longboat was double banked its rowing benches were designed to accommodate two men. Unlike the dinghy or the cutter, the longboat would have fairly fine lines aft to permit its use in steep waves such as surf or wind against tide where need be. Like other ships boats, the longboat could be rigged for sailing but was primarily a pulling boat. It had the double banked arrangement in common with the cutter. This was possible as it had a beam similar to a cutter s but broader than that of a gig, which was single banked. The longboat was generally more seaworthy than the cutter, which had a fuller stern for such load carrying work as laying out an anchor and cable. In a seaway or surf therefore, the cutter was more prone to Broach sailing broaching to. The Oxford English Dictionary notes uses of the word from 1515 to 1867. In later years, particularly in the Royal Navy, the longboat tended to be replaced by the whaler. The cutter was still in use in the 1950s but had been largely replaced by the 32 foot and 25 foot motor cutters. In some places such as Tristan da Cunha and Pitcairn Island , the surfboat s are known as longboats, perhaps because the settlers who introduced them were European seamen. The Tristan da Cunha boats are single banked. The French link is to chaloupe , which in this context is a cutter, but lent its name to the Dutch sloep or sloop .
