Viking era
During the Viking era, circa 1000 AD, the people of Roskilde decided to sink a number of their ships in the fjord at Skuldelev, in an effort to prevent the Vikings from coming and raiding.[1] Today, five ships have been discovered; during expansion of the museum that houses these finds, another nine were uncovered.[2]
