Given the position of this sunken Viking ship, I am re-evaluating my previous high estimate of Norwegian navigational acumen.

To this day, shallow draft sailors (such as myself) must be more careful, and less daring in coastal waters!

A-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow

The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde and sing and cry, Valhalla, I am coming

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

Ah-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs FLOW
How soft your fields, so green
can whisper tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords

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

S-so now you better stop and rebuild all your ruins
for peace and trust can winthe day despite of all you’re losin’
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ahh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I still wonder sometimes why my dad’s aincient ancestors decided that, after being a second son in Norway, the Orkneys were a good idea. On the other hand, I’m glad they did, since I’m here. ;)

Thanks for posting,
the news article yesterday was worthless, didn’t have a single photo attached, let alone a video.
