I WONDER - Why Did The Viking Use Longships?

Viking Longships were expertly designed vessels known for their sleekness, speed, and lightweight structure, making them perfect for both ocean voyages and river explorations. These ships could land on beaches for surprise attacks and often featured fearsome dragon heads carved on the front, believed to ward off evil spirits and intimidate enemies.
