Birth of the Ship
In the end, the Viking ship was born through the successive joining of wood, iron, wool, tar, oil, and human labour. The trunk in the forest had become timber in the timber yard, a shell in the shipyard, and finally, an elegant vessel was realised that could effortlessly cut through the sea.
