Sir, loving your lectures! I have not missed a one and plan on never doing so. Enjoy your field work.

Good luck in the field.

Thank you, Doctor. Interesting as ever. I'd like to hear your views on the reconstruction of the Sutton Hoo ship, currently being built at Woodbridge.

Thankyou.

great informatioon thanks

Thank you very much, it is really appreciated!

The only thing I know about clinker-built hulls is that they are way more noisy. Have you ever tried to sleep on a clinker-built boat? One small wave makes a slapping noise on every single plank as it moves up the hull.

👍👍👍👍👍

Hi sir. Its been a lot of years since i saw the particular book on viking ships called viking ships or something like that, it was late 70s, and the book was probably from the middle 60s. Anyhow, as i remember, viking ships apparently had a number of rules for their construction. I thought that the strakes were tapered from one side to the other Iknow that I've seen references to the logs being split like really thin pieces of pie. I also remember the strakes being tied together at the edges with rivets used only near the ends. And, rivet washers had to be round, with a few exceptions. I imagine that strakes were scarphed together and riveted, rather than butt joined. So. How much of this is wrong? Thank you. Rich
