Types of viking ships

• The Karvi class longship were the smallest of the Viking longships in overall size and would have been used in battle for small raiding parties. The Karvi ships were sometimes longer than Snekkja class ships, but were also substantially thinner. The Karvi ships would have had a varying range of oars, from 12 to 32 pairs of oars.
• Suitable for war, but obviously not as ocean worthy as the other wider longships, the Karvi was typically general purpose ships.
• The Snekkja class longship was the second smallest of the Viking long ships used for battle or raid purposes. The Snekkja was thought to be up to 18 metres, around 60 feet in length. Oars and sails were used of course, with the Snekkja holding up to 20 pairs of oars.

Skeid
• The Skeid class longship was a large Viking warship, almost as large as the Busse and much larger than the smaller Snekkja. The Skeid had a size of up to 30 metres, around 100 feet in length. Like the Busse, the Skeid had both sales and oars, with up to 30 pairs of oars to power it.
