442 a peat bog at Nydam in Schleswig, by M. Engelhardt in 1862, along with iron arms and implements, and in association with Roman coins ranging in date from A.D. 67 to A.D. 217. It therefore may be assigned to the third century. It was made of oaken boards, and was seventy feet long by eight or nine wide. The same kind of boat is also mentioned by Tacitus as being used by the Suiones, with stem and stern alike, fitted for being drawn up on the beach and without sails. It is, however, clear from his description that this was not the form usually employed in the navigation of the North Sea, and he had in his mind ships with a prow and stern wholly unlike one another. 165.—Boat engraved on rock, Häggeby, Uplande.
