Ships or boats had an important role in the Viking Age and were also often thematized in literature and art. Depictions of ships can already be found in Bronze Age rock drawings.
During the Viking Age, ship-shaped stone tombs were erected for the deceased princes, and Viking kings were even given entire wooden ships in their graves. Thus, the ship not only played an important role for the Norse in the present, but also in the Otherworld.
