Oh yeah they did. The Ulfbehrt sword is a powerful example. Great documentary on NOVA. You can watch it for free online. Brilliant shipbuilders, mariners and the worlds most effective amphibious assault force for hundreds of years. And here's the thing, they didn't just hitch a ride. They rowed. The Vikings were very fit and highly motivated for battle.
