The article argues that during the Middle Ages in Scandinavia (CE 1066-1536) the older Viking Age tradition of optimizing shipbuilding with regard to speed and visual appearance is gradually replaced by an economic approach to shipbuilding, made necessary by the increasing volumes of goods transported in the medieval economy.

The Social Context of Boats and Maritime Trade in Late Medieval Norway: Case Studies from Northern and Southern Peripheries2020 •
In this paper, boat remains from two widely separated regions of Norway provide a point of departure for exploring the social context of maritime trade in the late medieval period (AD 1350–1550). The wrecks of two 15th-century cargo vessels from adjacent offshore islands near the Arctic Circle, built of southern Norwegian timber, provide insights into the extensive stockfish (dried cod) trade. Diverse small finds illuminate social aspects of communities participating in a flourishing international maritime trade network. Due to urban expansion in Oslo, ongoing mitigation archaeology in the in-filled former harbour at Bjørvika has revealed more than 30 wrecks from the medieval period up until 1624 when the main port was relocated following a massive fire. The Barcode 17 wreck, dated to the mid-14th century, illustrates the role of maritime trade in Oslo, which, despite being a central urban port, was also a European commercial backwater. Although northern Norway may have been on the periphery relative to Oslo, both locations were marginal when viewed from a European economic perspective. The cases presented here demonstrate the potential for going beyond nautical technology to an understanding of the maritime cultural contexts in which watercraft performed.

Resources and Infrastructures in the Danish maritime economy Evidence for the coastal zone, 1500-2000Historians of the Danish economy usually emphasise the importance of agriculture since Neolithic times. Evidence put forward in this paper suggests that a revision of this perception is needed. The maritime component of the economy dominated medieval exports, and while the seventeenth century saw a decline in maritime activities, the eighteenth century was associated with a resurgence of shipping in particular. This overview looks first at natural resources, population and business statistics, and then goes on to present an historical overview on the development of the main maritime industries, fisheries and shipping, as well as other coastal economic activities in order to understand the relationship between settlement and economic activity. The outcome of this research is a fuller picture of the maritime population and activities of Denmark between 1500 and 2000.

Research in the Swedish military archives has revealed the identity of the 'Edesö Wreck' as the Bodekull belonging to the Swedish navy. The vessel was one of around 45 struss vessels ordered by King Karl X Gustav in 1659 to be used to transport troops and horses between the Danish isles. As a consequence of the king's sudden death in January 1660 and the end of the war against Denmark, the semi-finished purpose-built invasion fleet was rebuilt into vessels for which the navy had better use. It is still possible, however, to trace the original design of the vessel through the preserved hull structure.
