Dude, you're on the east coast of Canada, correct? ;D I'd think you should know what long ships are. Although, "black longship" really sounds more like a porn name than much else... ;D

From Wikipedia

There were two distinct classes of Viking ships: the longship (the largest also known as "drakkar", meaning "dragon" in Norse) and the knarr.

Therefore, "Black Dragon" seems more like it.
