Viking ship

Henry VIII's "Mary Rose" flagship

I don't know why this article compares the two. They are 500 years apart and quite different.

The comparison was for size, as stated, to show just how large the Viking vessel was. And it was just one of many. Svein Forkbeard (Canute’s father) spent about 20 years building barracks, training men, and laying keels to prepare for the invasion.

It's an English paper.

It is a very poor comparison for the English. This flagship of the second non-Norman king since 1066 (The Tudors were Welsh), was not only shorter but also less sea worthy.
