👉 In the context of maritime history and literature, "longships" is a type of sailing vessel that was often used by sailors to navigate through rough seas or during times of extreme weather. Longships were typically made of wood or metal and had a long, narrow hull with a large deck for accommodation. They were known for their stability and maneuverability, which allowed them to travel across vast bodies of water. Longships were particularly useful in navigating the treacherous waters off the coast of North America
