  1. 0:32 That map isn't big enough to show all the areas the vikings went to, would have been nice if it was. ;-) 2:06 That boat looks like it is from further south in Europe judging by its design although it's not that different from a Knarr I guess. Some of the things that would have been nice to mention is the double concave hull" design of the Knarr (I know it sounds weird, but I'm not sure how else to explain it in English). Here's one recreation with some pictures that might explain what I mean: http://www.vikingskip.com/borgundknarren.htm Granted, that one is actually based on a danish design, but I think you get the point there.  3:08 You forgot to mention the theories about a religious motivation. 5:09 Good! You guys remembered to mention that. ^^ Yeah, it was one of the important factors of our ship technology at the time. 6:27 Yep... 19:40 Great video. =) Nice to see one that's treating the subject properly for once.
