The ship was of a very large size. There is great variation in the rivets, and this confirms that the Myklebust ship was a formidable Viking ship.
This may be Norway's largest Viking ship, but we don't know for sure. Closer examination of the rivets will provide more knowledge about the ship.
When Anders Lorange examined the mound 150 years ago, he did so using the methods of the time. Now we can examine much more - and learn even more.
This is very exciting, because then it connects the Myklebust ship to a broader historical context that includes burial practices and social structures in the Viking Age.
