Pretty innaccurate and meh representation of what Vikins were.
I recommend reading this book to learn about Rou...
Turns out that our ancestors were Vikings.
The "BUSSE" name is from the largest warship ever made by the Vikings, called the Busse
I have drawn several Seax and I definitely foresee one in the future...... Might be 20 years from now, but it's coming.
Lets drink!:thumbup:

Busse The Viking warship
The Busse class longship was the most prestigious Viking warship, and likely most Drakkar ships were Busse ships. The Busse was big with sizes up to 50 metres, around 160 feet in length. Fitted with both sails and oars, a Busse could have up to 35 pairs of oars, allowing it to travel with speed utilising any propulsion method.
The Busse was capable of carrying a large cargo, which was beneficial on large scale raids, where the Vikings would look to take as much treasure home as possible. The Busse was thought to have carried a crew of around 80 Vikings. The scale and size of the Busse also allowed the Viking raids to travel further afield. The larger cargo holds meant the journeys across the oceans would be feasible compared to the smaller ship classes.
A few more days of rowing and we will be there.Are we there yet?
Expect delivery in 2 weeksWow.... 4 years later and it is being offered. How about a Busse Lightsaber? Can I reserve one now with a red photon blade?
