The Scandinavians make open boats, both of hollowed-out logs and planked lumber, such as the Nydam boat (now preserved at Kiel and dated, by coins found near the boat, as between CE 69 and 217).

About eighty-two feet (twenty-five meters) long, the boat, which has fourteen pairs of oars and a rudder, but no sail, is made of planks fitted clinker style (each plank overlapping the one beneath it), rather than carvel-built, with the planks fitted edge to edge.
