Archaeologists from the Stockholm Shipwreck Museum hope to secure funding for further research and excavation of the relatively well-preserved ship, found 20 km off the coast and with several masts still attached, which they now doubt may have been a Viking ship.
“This ship represents a fascinating transition from medieval to modern shipbuilding.” Viking Age ships (and all other ships from the Nordic countries before that) were built with clinker, long planks of the hull overlapping each other; but in hand-built ships, they lie side by side.
