I went to Norway with my mom a year before she died. She wanted me to meet her family in Oslo because she knew she didn’t have long to live.

The Hjemkomst is actually a recent reproduction of a viking ship, not the real thing. It was build in Minnesota, I believe, and sailed through the canal systems until it got to the Atlantic. (I bought a tee shirt...) I saw one old ship at the folksmuseum there. (I’m a descendant of Roald Amundsen so I’m interested in these things.)

Does Hemkomst mean “homecoming”?
