In
1903 the 70 foot Oseberg was discovered, buried near the medieval trading center
of Toensberg, the oldest town in Norway. It was very well preserved under several
layers of stone, peat moss and clay. We do not know the tales of
her exploits but we do know about her last voyage. Her final voyage was to transport
a Viking Chieftain to Val Halla. The oar and wind driven ship was built
in the latter half of the 9th century and was buried approximately fifty years
later. Historians believe that the Oseberg is at least 100 years older than any
other Viking ship previously discovered. Today you can view the Oseberg which
is on display in the Viking Ship Museum of Oslo, Norway. This archeological dig
is to date, the most important and valuable discovery of Viking artifacts ever
found in Norway!
