Viking Time.
During the Viking time around 1000 AD the people of Roskilde decided to sink a number of their ships in the fjord at Skuldelev in order to prevent the Vikings from coming in and raiding. Originally five were discovered; but while extending the museum that houses these finds another nine were uncovered.
