This is nydam boat . Today it housed at Gottorp castle in the town of Schleswig in Germany . It was found in Nydam peat bog in 1863 in southern Denmark . But Because Denmark was defeated by preussia in the second Schleswig war in 1864. The danes were forced to hand it over the boat to the germans . And since then its been housed in germany . The boat was put in the bog around the year 345  as sacrifice to the gods , most likely Odin . As a thanks for a  victory in a war . The place where it was found was traditionel orginal  Home land of the angles . The sail had not come to Scandinavia yet . So the Crew used oars to move the ship . But was in ships like this  that the angles , saxons and jutes crossed the north sea  into britain . The ship is made of oak and was built the classic Scandinavian clinker -type/Clinker -built style . The clinker -built ship style is a style , where the eges of hull planks overlaps each other . And it was that clinker built style ships that would evolve into the later viking ships . The Scandinavians put sails on their ships sometime in the 6th ot 7th century . And shortly after that the first viking age began . But the nydam boat was the type of ship that the transported the anglo-saxons to britain .
