Рет қаралды 46,954
5 жыл бұрынIn March of 2010, construction began on what would be the largest Viking ship ever built in modern times. Named after Harald Hårfagre, the king who unified Norway into one kingdom, the great dragon ship came together in the town of Haugesund in Western Norway.In 2012 Draken Harald Hårfagre was launched and the trial sailing began. During 2012 and 2013 she was trimmed and tested in the waters along the Norwegian coastline. Then, in the summer of 2014 this Viking vessel made her first ocean going voyage, from Haugesund, Norway, to Liverpool, England and back again. In 2016, the Draken made the voyage across the icy Atlantic to America and has been touring the east coast. We caught up with her in Cape Charles, VA.

We have an Anglo Saxon boat being reconstructed in Woodbridge in suffork . It is a replica of the one that the local Anglo Saxon king was buried in on the shore at Sutton hoo. All the planks are hand cut from single tree trunks . They identify the tree to a specific plank . All work is hand crafted . Incredible venture ………

There is literally one example of a guy using ravens to ditect land and contemporary people thought it was bizarre enough for it to earn him the nickname Hrafnaflóki (Raven Floki) so it would hardly seem like a common method.

Actually she isn't an open ship as she has quite solid deck, right? As as she is decked, why should you bail water out? Water may get out itself through the scuppers, right?

The outside of it might look "authentic" but them electrical gizmos r not authentic, so basically it simply can not be labeled as "exact replica" and that woman said no modern tools were used... To be truly authentic u would legit build it with every single thing that they used in the Viking days , no modern anything

They built it with all the materials and nails, etc as they did 1100 years ago. They used a combination of mostly old and also new tools to build it. Its absolutely authentic. But they put in aditional stuff as a machine.

No it doesn't, it has a steering oar like the real longships did. It does however have modern navigation and steering installed because otherwise it wouldn't be legal to take people out across the ocean with it.

@@r3gr3tfulfly3r5 What a pointless argument lmao. They built it completely authentically; but after it was done they had to fit modern equipment on it in order to sail. If they didn't it'd just be stuck docked to a museum somewhere. Would that be better?

@@bobosuda it sailed 1000 years ago without a modern wheel so it can sail today under the same position therefore your argument is invalid.

@@r3gr3tfulfly3r5 My argument is invalid? Do you even understand what my argument here is lmao? Obviously it can sail without technological assistance; nobody is claiming otherwise. They just wouldn't be allowed to because of modern safety regulations. It would sure make for a great story if they just built it completely authentic then left it sitting in a drydock forever. If the option is to either keep it original and not be allowed to sail; or modify it so they are allowed to take it out on the open seas with a crew, then the choice is pretty easy.

Basically a big lie, just call it a regular sail boat , no need to lie and say it's an "EXACT REPLICA" and authentic lmfao
