As Vikings forsook the traditional stay-at-home ways of their ancestors and neighbors, venturing further than the mellow river passages of their home regions, raids became increasingly frequent on European shores. The Vikings used their ship-building supremacy to reach targets faster than any mainland vessel, often targeting vulnerable coastal positions. Without the revolutionary longship, the Viking Age would not have been possible.
