    4 relatively intact Viking ships excavated from burial mounds. All ocean going. Detail pics are of the steering board, aka "starboard." Notice it is on the right or starboard side of the ship. Also the dragon from the stern of one ship. They show some of the grave goods excavated, too. This is the only extant wheeled cart from Viking times.
