Charles the Bald's precautions at the Île de la Cité (EEL de la see-TAY) against the use of these objects helped repulse an 885 to 886 siege of Paris. The "clinker" technique for making these objects was later adopted to build "cogs". Examples of these objects include faerings, karves, or knarrs. Several artifacts found inside a buried one of these objects at Sutton Hoo matched descriptions found in Beowulf. These objects, exemplified by Olaf Tryggvason's "Long Serpent", were often fit with ornamental dragon heads. For 10 points, name this type of transport used by Leif Erikson and many Viking raiders.
