How Viking Ships Lasted For 1100 Years While Modern Ships Die In 30

Walk into the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, Norway, and you'll see something that shouldn't exist. The Oseberg ship, built in the year 820 AD. Over 1,100 years old. And it's still here. The wood is intact. The craftsmanship visible. You can see the exact axe marks from the builder who shaped each plank. Now compare that to your neighbor's fishing boat, built in 1985. Forty years old. The hull is covered in blisters. The fiberglass is soft when you press on it. Water is trapped inside the walls. The boat is rotting from the inside out, and there's nothing he can do to stop it. A wooden ship built with hand tools in the 9th century has outlasted a "maintenance-free" fiberglass boat built with modern chemistry by over a thousand years. What did Viking shipbuilders know that we forgot?
