Naglfar
The nail-ship of Norse story, built from the dead. Not Skidbladnir the folding-ship, and not a generic boat.
Norse tradition
Naglfar appears in Norse tradition.
Snorri’s Gylfaginning has Naglfar, the ship of nails, loose at Ragnarök. A named doom-ship of that prose, not Skíðblaðnir the folding ship.

Naglfar appears in Ragnarök.
Snorri’s Gylfaginning launches Naglfar, the nail-ship, among the ruin’s fleets at Ragnarök. A named ship appearing in that episode, not naglfar→appears_in→norse alone and not Hringhorni as Baldr’s funeral ship.

Yardarm appears in Naglfar.
Snorri’s Gylfaginning launches Naglfar among the ruin’s fleets — a named yardarm kind among that nail-ship’s spar speech. Not mast as Hringhorni’s upright alone and not sail as Skíðblaðnir’s cloth alone.
