Sea Stallion - The Viking Warship Arrives In Dublin

[faltsda]

Looks like the ancient greek warship..their armours also look similar to the hellenic armor..their music seems familiar for some reason too..

[infomatique]

There are no Vikings left ... The became

[cheesepuffpie]

If your a a citizen of Norway, and you join the armed forces. Does that make you official viking?

[Dusty696969]

So is this a real viking ship or just a remake of one? Because I would not think they would want to risk somthing that is 1000 to 1200 years old???

[Vikingen78]

The Sea Stallion from Glendalough is a remake of a longship that was found in Roskilde Fjord in Denmark in 1956. The original ship was build in Dublin in Ireland by Norse settlers and therefore the Sea Stallion was sailed to Dublin from the city of Roskilde in 2007 to celebrate its origin. It stayed in Dublin for a year before it was sailed back to Denmark in 2008. Today it can be seen at the Viking Ship Museum of Roskilde in Denmark. In summer and spring it even sails in Roskilde Fjord.

@Dusty696969

it's a copy but the original built in Dublin more then 1000 year ago is the biggest viking

ship to bee found.

We think that Norwegian was bigger but it would bee a miracle if we found some intact after

example-sea battle Svolder.

This ship found thanks to King Knuth the great that used it as trap in a sea battle

between Danice Islands

What is the title of the musical piece playing at the first of the video?

[MilesB1975]

Could be a folk song called Lanigans Ball...

[Western2459]

My moms friend was the nurse on the ship.

[infomatique]

That must have been a lot of hard work for her.

[cfodk]

Priceless :)))))

[cool101118118]

i dont no why but when i watched this on bbc2 i thought that Louise Henriksen was amazingly beautiful ... is there going to be a program on it returning to denmark?

[infomatique]

I am not aware of any plans to do so ... I will let you know if I get any additional information.

[cool101118118]

thank you

[bradmacaroon]

So the banner reads: "wild men, lots of beer, has nothing changed in 1000 years?" What is there to change? What else is important?

[infomatique]

The BBC in the UK (BBC 2) is showing a two hour propramme about this ship at 19:55 today. The title of the programme is "Timewatch"

[infomatique]

Do you get it back next year?

[infomatique]
