   The Drakkar Pendant, also known as the Viking Longship Pendant, is a round silver pendant with Viking ornamentation adorning its circumference. At the center of the pendant, you will find the symbol of a Viking longship.    The Vikings, known as "pirate raiders," were skilled seafarers who embarked on voyages of exploration and plunder. The word "Viking" originates from the Old Norse term "Vikingr," which means "pirate raid." Their sea vessels, often referred to as "horses of the waves," symbolized speed and power. During the period between 850 and 1000 AD, the Vikings ventured to various countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, North Africa, and even discovered Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland.    The Vikings were renowned shipbuilders, and their most famous vessel was the longship. The longship, also called the Viking longboat, was a powerful and versatile ship. It had an average length of 25-30 meters and could accommodate up to 60 men. In addition to longships, the Vikings also utilized other types of boats such as Knarrs and Karves. These ships were not only used for exploration and raids but also had symbolic significance in funerals, representing a safe passage to the afterlife.    The Viking longship was instrumental in the Vikings' success in their travels. As their raids yielded rewards, the Vikings built larger ships like the Skeid and the Busse, allowing them to travel in larger parties over vast oceans, thus aiding them in acquiring valuable treasures.    The Drakkar Pendant, or Viking Longship Pendant, pays homage to the Viking's maritime prowess and adventurous spirit. Crafted from sterling silver, it embodies the artistry and craftsmanship of Viking jewelry. It serves as a tangible connection to Viking history and represents the Vikings' fearless exploration and powerful seafaring capabilities.    Wear the Drakkar Pendant proudly as a symbol of Viking heritage and the spirit of adventure associated with the Viking longships. Let it serve as a constant reminder of the Vikings' legacy and their remarkable achievements on the seas.

Hedeby

Hedeby (vieux norrois : Heiðabýr; allemand : Haithabu) était une importante place forte du Danemark de l'ère viking du 8e au 11e siècle. Avec Birka, dans l'actuelle Suède, c'était le plus important centre de commerce viking d'Europe. Pendant cette période, elle prospéra sous le contrôle des Vikings danois. Aujourd'hui, Hedeby est située près de la ville de Schleswig, en Allemagne, sur la péninsule du Jutland, mais elle était l'entrepôt le plus méridional de Scandinavie au début du Moyen Âge. Grâce à sa position favorable au carrefour de l'Empire franc et du royaume danois, ainsi qu'à la rivière Schlei qui rejoint la mer Baltique, la ville de Hedeby accumula une grande richesse en tant que colonie marchande ayant des liens commerciaux étendus avec l'Europe occidentale, la Scandinavie, l'Orient slave et byzantin, ainsi que le monde arabe. L'UNESCO a reconnu l'importance de Hedeby dans l'histoire de l'Europe médiévale, déclarant son site archéologique ainsi que le système défensif Danevirke dont les fortifications de Hedeby ont progressivement fait partie site du patrimoine mondial en 2018.

Drakkar ring

Introducing our striking Viking Ring, a symbol of Norse heritage and strength. • Material: 925 Sterling Silver • Weight - approx. 10 grams (0.35 oz)

[mjolnir-viking-jewelry]

Drakkar (wood carving) - 150$

Material: oak Diameter - 25 cm (9,84 inch.) The name 'Viking' comes from the word 'Vikingr' (Old Norse) meaning 'pirate raid'. The Norse people were said to be 'going Viking' when they set sail to explore and loot and their sea vessels were 'horses of the waves' symbolic of speed and power. During the period 850-1000 AD, the Vikings explored many countries including The United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy as well as North Africa. They also discovered Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland. The Viking people were amazing ship builders and their most famous ship, the longship was the most powerful vessel. On average, a Viking longship measured approximately 25-30 metres could hold up to 60 men. They also commonly used boats called Knarrs and Karves. The Viking boats were also used in funerals and were symbolic of safe passage to the afterlife.

The Viking longboat was the key to the Vikings success in travelling. The various classes of boat employed by the Vikings would of course have grown over time. Larger boats like the Skeid and the Busse would have been built as the results of successful initial raids. These larger ships would have allowed the Vikings to travel in larger parties, over larger oceans, of course helping them obtain their valued treasures.

Today we went and visit the viking ships, the Oseberg, the Gokstad and the Tune. ~ They’re not doing well. After 1000 years in the mud, which btw had conservated them pretty well, they don’t like the dry air in the museum, the vibrations of visitors’ steps, so they’re falling apart. ~ That’s so fucking terrible! ~ September will be Museum’s last opening month, then they’ll close, and for many years nobody will be able to visit them, if not to work on the reatuaration and the conservations. ~ They’ll build a new museum, close to the old one, with much better fitting microclimate, they’ll demolish the walls all around and then they’ll very slowly move the ships over to the new place 😱 that’s pretty crazy, isn’t it? ~ Keep crossing your fingers, and if you’re in Norway please go and visit’em before the end of september! ~ You may never have that chance again 😭 ~ #viking #vikings #raw_norway #vikingship #vikingskipshuset #navivichinghe #vichinghi #vikings_oficial #ship #shipstagram #shipspotting #museum #museumlover #history #norrøna #odin #thor #ragnarok #valhalla #funeralship #photooftheday #picoftheday #historie #historyfacts #restauration (presso Oslo, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS44lWSCtX3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Vinland

Le Vinland (vieux norrois Vínland, "terre du vin") est le nom donné aux terres explorées et brièvement colonisées par les Vikings nordiques en Amérique du Nord vers l'an 1000, en particulier à Terre-Neuve, où un site viking connu sous le nom de L'Anse aux Meadows a été découvert dans les années 1960, et dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent. Le terme Vinland est parfois utilisé pour désigner toutes les régions fréquentées par les Vikings en Amérique du Nord, auquel cas il s'étend également au Labrador, à l'île de Baffin, au Nouveau-Brunswick et à l'île du Prince-Édouard, tous situés dans l'actuel Canada.

The Ladby ship anchor, probably 10th century

It is the only danish burial in a vikingship. The ship and its owner are buried in Ladbyhøj together with 11 horses and at least 4 dogs. It is located close to Kerteminde on Funen, Denmark.

When iron (around 4th century BC, but iron was already known as a material before then, c. 3000-2700 BC) was introduced for the construction of anchors, an improvement was made by adding teeth or ‘flukes’ to secure them to the bottom. This is the iconic anchor shape best known to non-sailors.

This shape was already used in ancient times. The Roman Nemi ships from the 1st century AD used this shape. The Viking ship here used such an iron anchor, which was fitted with a wooden shaft attached perpendicular to the shaft and the flukes so that the flukes touched the ground at a suitable angle to hook or penetrate and weighed around 20kg.
