Price 6900 Euro, plus transport cost The Viking ship in the burial mound of Oseberg The Oseberg Ship was named after the Oseberg farm in Tønsberg near the Oslo Fjord where the ship was excavated in 1904/1905 from a burial mound. The ship was built around 820 A.D. and is thought to have been used for coastal voyages until it was moved to the burial mound in 834 A.D.. The ship is a typical clinker-built Viking ship made of oak. Bow and stern are decorated by elaborate carvings. The ship is one of the finest finds that have survived from the Viking Age. Today the Oseberg Ship is on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo.
