During her work she discovered that almost all ribs and knees had been cut on the original ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This raised doubts as to whether the ship\u00b4s width today is identical to what it was originally. The problem was solved by consulting drawings of the ship\u00b4s burial chamber made in 1931 and 1890 respectively, and comparing them to the present width. She found them identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They were perfect matches, exclaims a pleased Vibeke Bischoff, who is confident of the original ship\u00b4s width when finishing her model and drawings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Based on this, I expect to find the correct curves of both keel and stems, she says.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/osebergvikingarv.no\/eng\/2021\/01\/19\/gokstad-replica-is-finding-its-shape\/\" title=\"English\" class=\"current_language\" aria-current=\"page\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osebergvikingarv.no\/eng\/wp-content\/plugins\/multisite-language-switcher\/assets\/flags\/gb.png\" alt=\"en_GB\"\/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shortly we will start building our reconstruction of the Gokstad ship.
