Vikings did not use slaves för propelling their ships. Free men joined the skeppslag and rowed their chiefs longships motivated by the coming share of loots and for the plain pleasure of men doing things together.
On crew and frienship:
Och åter bland kämpar jag spejande stod
Efter skepp i det fjärran blå.
Kom vikingasegel, - då gälde det blod;
Kom krämarn, - så fick han gå.
Men blodig är segern den tappre värd,
Och vikingavänskap, den knytes med svärd
Uppå hafvet.
