Viking era※

During the Viking era, "circa 1000 AD," the people of Roskilde decided to sink a number of their ships in the fjord at Skuldelev, in an effort to prevent the Vikings from coming and "raiding." Today, five ships have been discovered; during expansion of the museum that houses these finds, another nine were uncovered.
