[1] [2][3] The Tune ship is of the karve, a small type of longship with broad hull.

It was found at the Haugen farm on the island of Rolvsøy in the parish of Tune in Østfold, Norway.

It was discovered when the burial mound was opened and the site was excavated by archaeologist Oluf Rygh in 1867.

[4][5] The Tune ship is fragmentary, but may have been up to 18.7 metres (61 ft) long.

It is of rugged construction with naturally grown ribs, thick crossbeams and a solid gunwale.
