A short trip indeed!!??? The building of the invasion fleet> The fleet sails out. The shields on the stems probably bear the standards of the individual magnates>  The fleet sails out. The tapestry’s delineation of horses being transported on board ships that could be rowed is remarkable.> The central part of the fleet with William’s ship. The shields are shown along the gunwale, but on the inside. They are not sitting on the outside as they did, for example, on the small longship,  <Disembarkation. The ship is poled the last part of the way to the coast, the mast is laid down and the horses jump over the gunwale down into the shallow water.  <The final picture of ships on the tapestry. The invasion fleet is lying at the beach, the masts have been laid down and the decorations on the stems have also been removed.
