Skeid Longship - Mercenary Norse Bow Marauders

This ship and the men it bears are as strong as wind and tide.

Fighting effectively at sea takes skill, courage, and sea-legs in abundance.

The skeid was one of the larger types of longship; primarily used as a warship, its name means ‘that which cuts through water’. Perhaps the most famous skeid discovered in recent times is the Roskilde 6, at 37 metres long it is the largest longship ever discovered. Twenty percent of the original timbers have survived and been painstakingly restored, while the rest of the ship is represented by a huge metal frame to give a sense of scale. The Roskilde 6 can be found, along with a number of other longboats discovered in the harbour, at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark.

(Mercenary Norse Bow Marauders)
Naval warfare in the ancient world was just another way for infantry to fight one another. The earliest documented naval battles are those of ancient China, 'grapple and hook' battles where boarding operations and close-quarters combat decided the victor. During the Second Punic War, Rome famously broke Carthage's mastery of the waves by creating the 'corvus' - a bridge that allowed its soldiers to board and fight. The distinction, then, in antiquity, between fighting on land and at sea was small, yet chiefly a matter of 'sea legs' - maintaining balance whilst toppling your opponent.
