Viking Ship - Viking Ship

Japanese: バイキング船 - バイキングせん
Viking Ship - Viking Ship
A long, narrow, double-cambered boat used by the Vikings and Scandinavian peoples of the time. Ships of this type date back to 2000 BCE, but a unique feature of Viking ships is the use of a keel, which allowed them to sail and gave them stability in beam waves. Archaeological experiments have shown that they successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean. They had a shallow draft, allowing them to run ashore on either side. There were an equal number of oar holes on each side, and the size of the ship was measured by the number of seats with a pair of oar holes on either side.

Japanese:
細長く両先端の反った船で,バイキングやその当時の北欧で使用された。このような船形の船は,前2000年にさかのぼる歴史をもつが,バイキング船に固有の特徴は竜骨の採用で,これによって帆走が可能になり,横波に対する安定が得られた。考古学に基づく実験では,大西洋横断に成功している。喫水が浅く,船のどちら側からでも岸辺に乗り上げることができる。両舷に同数のオール穴があり,船の大きさは左右1対のオール穴をもつ座席の数で表される。
