The pupils at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde.
The pupils also visited the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde to get further inspiration for their work with the project. They took photographs and wrote a report about their visit:

“On our trip to the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum, one of the things that we did was that we looked on a film about how they built one of the ships in the same way as they did in the Viking Age. The ships they built were 30 m long and could load up to 80 men. We also got a guided tour in the other rooms where the Viking ships were. The guide told us that one of the ships had wood from Norway. In the Roskilde fjord where they found the ships, there were three places that ships could sail through to get to the village. So what the Vikings did was that they blocked two of the three places so that they could only come in through the last one. The ships they were sailing were not only warships, they were also trade ships. The trade ships were shorter and wider than the warships. The rope they used was normally made of horsehair. The Vikings did not have horns on their helmets. That would have made them to heavy and their enemies would have a much bigger chance of hitting their heads.”

Elevernas besök på Vikingaskeppsmuseet i Roskilde.
Eleverna besökte Vikingaskeppsmuseet i Roskilde för att få vidare inspiration till arbetet med projektet.
De fotograferade, och skrev en rapport om sitt besök:

”När vi besökte Vikingaskeppsmuseet i Roskilde fick vi bl.a. se en film om hur det gick till när man byggde ett av skeppet på samma vis som man gjorde på vikingatiden. Skeppen de byggde var 30 meter långa och kunde ta upp till 80 män. Vi fick också en guidad tur i de andra rummen där vikingaskeppen fanns. Guiden berättade att ett av skeppen var av trä från Norge. I Roskildefjorden där man fann skeppen, fanns det tre platser där man kunde segla igenom för att komma till byn. Vikingarna blockerade då två av dessa tre platser, så att man bara kunde komma igenom den sista. Man seglade inte bara med krigsskepp, utan även med handelsskepp. Handelsskeppen var kortare och bredare än krigsskeppen. Repen man använde var oftast gjorda av hästtagel. Vikingarna hade inga horn på sina hjälmar. Det hade gjort dem för tunga, och gjort så att deras fiender hade en större chans att träffa deras huvuden.”
