Awesome videos are on youtube of the biggest Viking longship built in a many centuries. It’s visited the USA, and can cross oceans at speeds which would not be repeated until the 18th century. This incredible wooden ship was built using all original methods.

8 minutes with the amazing Draken Viking Ship. This is the film we showed in our exhibition tent on the festivals around the Great Lakes, filmed between Greenland and Newfoundland on the crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Fascinating, terrifying video. Vikings had some serious courage to embark on those voyages.
10 minute video of building a “dragon ship”. They were definitely craftsman who understood the sea.
