How do you define a true longship?

History is not what it used to be.

The same scale as what is generally considered a Viking long ship.


You are a little vague.

Do you need sails? Then the late germanic iron age.

Do you need oars? Then the early roman iron age.

Or will paddles do? Then probably the bronze age.

Payload?

Crewsize?

Operational distance?
