VIKING LONGBOATS: The Vikings are best remembered as fearsome warriors, but their long lasting legacy owes just as much to their seafaring aptitude. Both the Vikings ships and the skill with which they utilised them were key to the success of many of their exploits, from fishing and exploring the oceans to raiding.

Though Viking boats came in many shapes and sizes, the most iconic and effective Viking vessel was undoubtedly the long ship. Long, narrow and flat, long ships were fast, durable and capable of navigating both choppy seas and shallow rivers. They were also light enough to be carried overland.

Another fantastic feature was that the longboat was double-ended. This meant that the Vikings could reverse without having to turn the boat around.

SALT CELLAR: A salt cellar is an tableware item for holding and dispensing salt. Salt cellars can be either lidded or open, and are found in a wide range of sizes, from large shared vessels to small individual dishes. Use of salt cellars is documented as early as classical Rome. They continued to be used through the first half of the 20th century; however they have been almost entirely replaced by salt shakers.
