Sea going vessels were often mounted with a dragon or serpents head on the prow. Most people of the Viking age were very superstitious: the dragon head was simply to frighten away sea monsters and spirits. This tradition survived for many years and is shown on the Bayeux Tapestry to have been practiced even by supposedly Christian sailors.
