Oseberg Ship

Examples of Oseberg Ship in the following topics:

• Norse Ships in the Early European Middle Ages

  • The Oseberg ship was discovered in a burial mound in Norway and is one of the finest artistic and archaeological finds from the Viking Age.
  • The Oseberg ship (Norwegian: Osebergskipet) is a well preserved Viking ship discovered in a large burial mound at the Oseberg farm near Tønsberg in Vestfold county, Norway.
  • Animal head post found in the Oseberg ship.
  • This detail from the Oseberg ship demonstrates the elaborte woodcarving designs used as ornamentation on the bow and front of the ship.
  • Identify the important artifacts found in the burial mound of the Oseberg ship.

• The Norse

  • For instance, the Oseberg Bow demonstrates the Norse mastery of decorative wood carving .
  • Chieftain ships were distinguishable by the design of the bow of their vessel.
  • Animal-head post found in the Oseberg viking ship, seen in the Viking Ship Museum, Oslo, Norway.
  • Carved detail from the back bow of the Oseberg ship.
  • The Oseberg Bow demonstrates the Norse mastery of decorative wood carving.

• Norse Timber Architecture in the Early European Middle Ages

  • Although scant evidence exists, archaeological findings of actual buildings from the earliest permanent structures, the discovery of Viking ships (i.e. the Oseberg), and stave churches suggest a significant mastery of woodworking and engineering in Viking culture.
  • Typically load-bearing with post-and-lintel entrances, long houses had sharply pitched roofs that bore a curve similar to that of a ship.

• Shipping and Transportation

  • Shipping is a physical process of transporting commodities and merchandise goods and cargo, by land, air, and sea.
  • Land or "ground" shipping can be by train or by truck.
  • Much shipping is done aboard actual ships.
  • Merchant shipping is lifeblood to the world economy, carrying 90% of international trade with 102,194 commercial ships worldwide.
  • The term "shipping" in this context originated from the shipping trade of wind power ships, and has come to refer to the delivery of cargo and parcels of any size above the common mail of letters and postcards.

• The Middle Passage

  • Typical slave ships contained several hundred slaves with approximately thirty crew members.
  • For example, in 1781 the Zong, a British slave ship, took on too many slaves on its voyage to the Americas.
  • Aside from the overcrowded, dangerous conditions in the slave ships, most slaves suffered from malnutrition and starvation when ship food and water supplies ran low.
  • Some slave cargoes revolted at once and attempted to take over the ship and/or murder crew members.
  • Commercial goods from Europe were shipped to Africa for sale and traded for enslaved Africans.

• Recognition of Revenue at Point of Sale or Delivery

  • When the transfer of ownership of goods sold is not immediate and delivery of the goods is required, the shipping terms of the sale dictate when revenue is recognized.
  • Shipping terms are typically "FOB Destination" and "FOB Shipping Point".
  • For goods shipped under FOB destination, ownership passes to the buyer when the goods arrive at the buyer's receiving dock; at this point, the seller has completed the sales transaction and revenue has been earned and is recorded.
  • If the shipping terms are FOB shipping point, ownership passes to the buyer when the goods leave the seller's shipping dock, thus the sale of the goods is complete and the seller can recognize the earned revenue.

• Time Dilation

  • For instance, two rocket ships (A and B) speeding past one another in space would experience time dilation.
  • If they somehow had a clear view into each other's ships, each crew would see the others' clocks and movement as going too slowly.
  • That is, inside the frame of reference of Ship A, everything is moving normally, but everything over on Ship B appears to be moving slower (and vice versa).
  • In other words, if a new ship, Ship C, travels alongside Ship A, it is "at rest" relative to Ship A.
  • From the point of view of Ship A, new Ship C's time would appear normal too.

• Neutral Rights and Submarines

  • Neutral American ships that tried to trade with Germany were seized or turned back.
  • We can bottle her up and destroy every ship that endeavors to break the blockade" .
  • The British frequently violated America's neutral rights by seizing ships.
  • Berlin acquiesced, ordering its submarines to avoid passenger ships.
  • They overestimated how many ships they could sink and how much that would weaken Britain.

• The Boston Tea Party

  • In the ships were more than 2,000 chests containing nearly 600,000 pounds of tea.
  • By early December, the Philadelphia consignees had resigned and the tea ship returned to England with its cargo following a confrontation with the ship's captain.
  • The tea ship bound for New York City was delayed by bad weather.
  • Meanwhile, two more tea ships, the Eleanor and the Beaver, arrived in Boston Harbor.

• Applications: Ultrasound, Sonar, and Medical Imaging

  • illustrates how a ship on the ocean utilizes the reflecting properties of sound waves to determine the depth of the ocean.
  • Because the speed of sound is known and the time lapse between sending and receiving the sound can be measured, the distance from the ship to the bottom of the ocean can be determined.
  • Just as ships on the ocean, certain animals, like dolphins and bats, make use of sounds waves (sonar) to navigate or find their way.
  • Ships on the ocean make use of the reflecting properties of sound waves to determine the depth of the ocean.
  • Because the speed of sound is known and the time lapse between sending and receiving the sound can be measured, the distance from the ship to the bottom of the ocean can be determined.
