In considering the subject of ancient shipbuilding absolute depend' 

 ence should not be placed in the accounts handed down in the sagas, 

 which were often considerably overdrawn in an attenipt to best'jw 

 piaise upon the originator, or, if even correctly conceived, by transmis- 

 sion exjierienced modifications which finally were incorporated in the 

 written records made at a much later period, and which formed the 



'Long Serpent, according to saga account, was 160 feet in length. 

 - Knut the C4reat's ship is said to have measured 300 feet in length.
