The Viking Age ship burial excavated at Tune in Norway in 1867 is known as the Tune ship.
The vessel was found in a burial mound at Haugar, near Fredrikstad in southeastern Norway. It was discovered several decades before the better-preserved Gokstad and Oseberg ships, making it an important early find in the study of Viking ship burials. The ship dates to around the late ninth century.
Only part of the Tune ship survived, because the burial had been disturbed and the vessel was not preserved as completely as some other Norwegian finds. Even so, its construction shows the characteristics of a fast, seagoing Viking vessel rather than a simple river craft. It was probably designed to carry both oarsmen and a sail.
The Tune ship is often mentioned alongside the Gokstad and Oseberg ships as one of Norway’s principal Viking ship discoveries. Their different designs and burial contexts help researchers compare Viking technology, social status, and funerary customs.
