Since the end of the eighth century, the Vikings coming from Scandinavia have regularly appeared in their dragonkids in the UK and the European mainland during their conquests. These ships, perfectly suited to warships, about 20 meters (66 feet) long, had both ends rounded off so that they could land or bounce off the shore in any direction. A low dive, only 1.5 meters (5 feet), allowed the Vikings to sail or roam even on mainland waterways and rivers and to attack the area deep in the interior. With these rapids (speeds of up to 20 knots) and very well-manned warships, also known as "dragon boats" or "langskips," the Vikings dared to sail at considerable distances, such as Iceland, Greenland or even North America, as archaeological excavations of the local ancient settlements proved.
