The next logical step is to apply the second stage of the test. The second requirement is tha ...

... the ship. A Viking warship had between fifteen to over thirty pair of rowers. Not all Viking ships were war ships. Some were used to carry livestock or large cargoes of other merchandise to trade. They carried a crew of fifteen to twenty men. These ships were deep and wide and fifty- four feet long.
