From Shetland to Faroe Islands

The long distance shots of the ship are really inspiring and beautiful. Wonderful videos.

Did they use a drone, that many years ago? Or was there a support ship?

[@doughavens615]

I saw this ship when it was docked in Brewerton, NY on its way through the Erie Canal System, on Oneida Lake. What a sight!

[@williewonka6694]

Amazing, that's where I saw it as well. An amazing project from laying the keel to sailing across the Atlantic. A true life adventure.

[@scottastell9415]

Awesome footage. I can imagine how tough it would have been near 1500 years ago without modern safety gear, VHF and GPS.

[@frankblangeard8865]

At 2:22 you can see the pilot house with a windshield under the Norwegian flag. The pilot house is where the engine is controlled. The engine on this ship is required by the Norwegian government and the crew is limited to 30.

[@jimspoolstra2929]

Great way to demonstrate the amazing building and sailing skills of the Norsemen (and women). Thanks so much for this video.

[@clov2r.342]

I'm so proud of you guys. Your ancestors are applauding from Valhalla

[@pierpalumbo415]

so true

[@63256325N]

It's hard to imagine the men of old sailing like that in an open ship with absolutely no support. Tough breed.

[@chrisrushlau]

Most Vikings had back problems from raising sails.

[@tommypetraglia4688]

Those men put to sea in an open boat for 6 months maybe with nothing but a coat and helmet, and no chart only the sun and stars, the wind and the currents leading them to where no one knew

[@kiwiredbeard7632]

They don’t make men like that anymore mate , tougher than nails

I love this Captain. Very softspoken, takes no unnecessary risks and seems to be respected by all crew members. I love the way the crew works well as a team, no words needed, they all know what to do. This is about Vikings sailing, not about marauding... I hope no Americans showed up in Hollywood Viking wardrobes...

Looks great! I was sorry not to get a place, I am sure they were hard fought for. What an amazing opportunity for all concerned.

[@ДарьяМаксимова-г4н]

Интересно, почему не используется система блоков на фале (хотя на брасах блоки есть)? Почему в подъёме паруса обходятся без топенантов? Так бы было легче :) This is an amazing journey! I wonder why not use blocks system fale (although Brasa blocks there)? Why the rise in the cost of the sail without main lifts (span ropes)? So it would be easier :)

[@brodiaga5]

[@Mooseracks]

What kind of DISIEL ENGINE IN IN THAT BOAT... moving along pretty fast with no sails up

[@sandskeletor1]

I have such great respect for these videos because they are the closest thing to the real scandanavian sea culture absolutly amazing crew amazing long ship i would have never seen these on the ocean in my entire life i live here in canada and we have allot of lakes my uncle builds birch bark canoes and its interesting how different cultures built different types of water crossing vessels i would say though some one should make a video on the 35 foot british columbia first nation carved out voyagers that would have no doubt been a match if not lighter and faster but they did not have the sail technologies that the viking s had adapted from seeing mériterainian sales but these ships were manned with ores for each 5 feet of it and they did go to war against one and other with these great red wood canoes i would call them closer to a scooner without a sail

What happens to all the water that's washed over the gunwales into the ship in a storm? Are the deck boards watertight?

[@ThomasDanielsen1000]

No they are not water tight. You pump! And hope you can pump water out faster than it pours in

[@TheNewAgeGamer97]

How long does it take to get the sail up and down?

[@R.E.HILL_]

Unknown down... very fast...

[@Catonius]

depends how quickly you do it..

[@greenockcut]

Bell peppers and diesel engines! I would like to assume that these are of the same vintage as the settlers of Anse aux Meadows brought with them! And where are the old oars?

[@larryslemp9698]

I wondered about the oars as well.

[@frankblangeard8865]

It takes 100 crew to man the oars but the crew is limited to 30 by the Norwegian government (which also requires the engine) so there are no oars and the ship can't be rowed.

[@sannesteers]

@@frankblangeard8865 What a pity it can't be rowed! It is like the ship is mutilated without oars.

[@ianballinger7644]

It would have looked so much more authentic with a full crew, shields mounted on sides and oars........government rules and regs stuffing things up again as usual. !

[@Raztin1-tl6gi]

It's not really a "Viking" ship per se, because the entire ship is one big anachronism. They took an actual Viking age longship such as Gokstad and upscaled it to appear as big as the Leidang ships of the 13th-century law sections. The problem with this is that all found Viking-age long ships had low drafts of around 1 meter or less. Draken has 2.5, which makes the ship oversized and unsuitable for swift Viking raids known as "strandhǫgg", where the ships were rammed into the beach and pushed away when retreating. Ships such as Skuldelev 3 and Roskilde 6 were more suited for Viking raids and had low-standing decks. Draken is around the same length as Roskilde 6 (around 35m), but over twice as wide (8m) and has a higher standing deck, making up a very large heavy-duty ship more suitable for Scandinavian maritime warfare in the 13th and 14th centuries, than the warfare we know from the Viking ages. However, I like to be optimistic for such a grande project. It is truly the biggest modern construction of a medieval long-ship. In the Viking era, there could have been larger admiral ships owned by the many Earls and Kings of Scandinavia, which engaged in more widespread warfare other than smaller raids. The construction of the first large long-ships could have covered a need for naval superiority and protection against the many enemies at sea. I highly doubt the kings used average-sized ships such as Gokstad or Skuldelev 3. Maybe the largest Viking-era era long-ships used by kings became the new standard for the following period, and the ships grew in size, particularly the ships of the golden age of saga writing. In the many reliable King's sagas, there are at least 20 named and unnamed ships of the Middle Ages I suspect were a bigger ship class than Draken (some of which were over twice as big). The reliability of these rapports can be questioned, and exaggerations were normal in other historical works. However, there is reason to believe there is truth to these rapports, as it's logical to want your main ship to be bigger than any enemy ship. Such was done in many other cultures, and several saga authors speak of this dynamic repeatably, so it would be unfair to brand them as unreliable. Many written sources mention the act of attacking vertically from a ship, downwards, using bows, crossbows, javelins, and hurling rocks, which suggests an elevated form of warfare similar to a siege. Having the high ground with a well-disciplined force on a higher-standing deck gave the ship the protective capacity to withstand extensive boarding maneuvers by the enemy. Mariasuden, a Frankenstein monster of a ship, for instance, was taller than Draken (a big, yet pretty standard size of the time), and had a total crew of 320 men (3x of Draken). In a battle, it withstood the boarding of 14 longships simultaneously, which bought the fleet time to ambush the ships from behind. If this is true, the freeboard must've been at least 3.5 meters, including the railing, since the enemy wasn't able to effectively board the ship, they shot and hurled all kinds of missiles for some time. There were probably over a thousand men on those 14 ships, if not more. If you need 14 ships to counter one massive ship, with a smaller total crew, you might as well just invest in an even larger ship. Krossuden and Kristsuden built some 50 years after had freeboards over 5 meters, which is insane. Fully supplied, the ships would perhaps go down to 4.5 meters.

How can it be going so fast with nobody rowing and no sails set?

[@hzhang1228]

an engine for getting out of port and probably safety ect

[@reginaldgraves1684]

@@hzhang1228 Yes it was rather obvious, at the launching the fact that two men per oar were required was said giving the impression that that was to be the means of powering the boat. I notice that there was a deck which surprised me, the size was also surprising and I wonder if the Vikings were capable of building such a vessel and if they were, whether the hogging, sagging and twisting stresses would have been too much for it. I may be exaggerating but the impression I have that it was the hardiness of man which overcame the sea and the people they conquered not the quality of their boats which must have leaked and required frequent baling out making a deck impractical.
