Johan Egerkrans - Norse Gods

The stories I know well are once again retold. Not in a particular spectacular way.

🪓🚢 The iconic silhouette of a #Viking longship is the result of a sophisticated #engineering technique known as clinker building.

This collection from World #History Encyclopedia demonstrates the entire build process, from the first cut of a 25-meter oak #tree to the final application of pine tar and animal hair for waterproofing.
