It seems to me - are the Normans in the picture with a trading "shnekkar"? Little is known about the Slavic shipbuilding of that time. However, I am not an expert. But it will be interesting to see the characters in the 40th scale.

This is an interesting account of building a small Viking boat (https://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/en/professions/boatyard/building-projects/the-gokstad-boat). If you scroll down, there is a very nice view of Viking oars and the shape of the blades. I have found oars to be a pain, it just takes time and patience to sand the wood to shape!

Here you can see how they pull one boat on land, using pretty small pieces of wood greased with tallow.

Thanks for that. It's really amazing to see, how easy the land transport of these boats seems to have been.
Thanks for the interesting information.
