{"product_id":"9788785180773","title":"The Oseberg Ship : Reconstruction of form and function by Vibeke Bischoff","description":"This volume presents a new reconstruction of the Norwegian Viking-Age ship from Oseberg, dated to 820 AD. In 1987 a full-scale reconstruction of the ship, was built based on drawings made of the exhibited ship. The reconstruction, Dronningen, capsized and sank during the first test-sailing, giving rise to many questions, concerning the ships original performance. The purpose of the present work has been to reconstruct the ship's form and construction anew. In 2012, a new full-scale reconstruction, Saga Oseberg, was built based on the new reconstruction. The subsequent test-sailing revealed that the Oseberg Ship was originally technically advanced and seaworthy, and the former skepticism regarding the ship's sailing abilities can now be disproved.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311154999669,"sku":"9788785180773","price":56.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9788785180773.jpg?v=1762816707","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9788785180773","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
