sluttes dels af den øverste blok (mastefisken) og dels af
det over dennes aabning anbragte løse stykke, der ved
sin fals paa underkanten passer ned i aabningen som et
laag. Det hele viser sig saaledes meget mere hensigts-
mæssigt end i Tuneskibet og yder derfor masten en
større støtte. Desuden har den underste bjelke nederst
to aabninger paa tvers (pl. I. fig. 4, jfr. pl. IL. fig. 5) og
mastefisken ligeledes to aabninger langsefter (pl. I. fig. 6,
pl. IL. fig. 9), formodentlig dels for at gjøre det hele noget
lettere og dels for at vandet kunde have frit gjennemløb.

between the two vessels in respect of the form and posi-
tion of the two before mentioned heavy oaken blocks
In the Tune-ship both extend
in equal length over 5 frame timbers and 5 beams; the
mast rests on the surface of the under block and is to
the fore supported against a projecting thick knot of the
wood so that there is a space between the mast and
the side of the slot in the mast block; in the Gokstad-,
ship (pl. I. fig. 4. 7. pl. III. fig. 1. 2) however the lower
block extends over 4 frame-timbers while the upper
span 6 beams; the foot of the mast is put down in a
socket in the timber, and the mast itself is grasped in
part by the upper block, and in part by the loose slab
which is laid over its opening and which by means of
its ledge on the under side fits the opening like a lid.
Altogether its arrangement is obviously much more con-
used to stay the mast.
venient than that of the Tune-boat and consequently
gives to the mast a firmer support. Besides, the under-
most block has two cross openings (pl. I. fig. 4 conf. pl. II.
fig. 5) and the uppermost also two openings lengthwise
(pl. I. fig. 6. pl. II. fig. 9), presumably intended in part to
lighten the whole and in part to give free water-passage.
Be it added that the ship of the most recent dis-
covery surpasses its forerunner in both magnitude and

to outside between fore and aft 23.80 m., is amidships
5.10 m. broad and at the same point 1.20 m. in depth
from top of the bulwark to keel, while the Tune-ship
was assuredly much smaller, although accurate admeasure-
ment is not possible because of that vessel’s dilapidated
condition, for not even the keel is to be found entire.
And to this may be adjoined, that although the Tune-
ship also shows very good workmanship, and its boards
both within and without have beaded edges, it is never-
theless far from being able to compete with the other
vessel, which, over and above its other and higher qua-
lities, has greater sharpness of build anda finer sheer. This
will best be seen from pl. I. fig. 2. 3, wherewith by means
of the transverse sections presented as taken at various
points we may obtain a clear idea of the vessel’s form
and figure in their entirety. Seen from above (pl. 1. fig. 7)
it stands by its proportions of length and breadth, much
in advance of the Nordland boat, and among all our pre-
sent small boats, has, in that respect, its parallel only
in the boats generally used in Trysil, — these meanwhile
exhibiting many points in difference and that point espe-
cially, that they are keelless, and besides, that like the
