On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.

i>...the sea was much warmer and calmer 1,000 years ago when they sailed the northers waters.

But, but, but, how can that possibly be? Algore says the earth is warmer NOW! s/off

That is a beautiful boat and an interesting story. Thanks for posting.

"It is described as clinker built..." Archaeologists in the heritage ministry are carrying out an inventory of wrecks in the country's rivers, lakes and around the coastline. There are thought to be as many as 12,000. The high number of wrecks is a result of the country being an island that imported many of its needs for centuries...
