In 1962, several viking ships were found in the Fjord of Roskilde and it was decided in 2000 to try to reconstruct the largest of them which was 30 meters long. It is believed that the original warrior ship was built in Ireland in 1042.
I had the privilege of spending a full day on this majestic ship on what seemed to be the last late summer day of the year. We were about 65 people onboard, most of whom were passionate sailors deeply in love with this historical gem. Sailing up and down the Fjord of Roskilde with two other viking boats in close proximity definitely set the imagination off and it was easy to be transported 1000 years back in time.
