A reconstructed Vikingship sailed today from Roskilde, Denmark, to Dublin Ireland.
See a VIDIO HERE about it
The link is altso the ships home page : havhingsten.dk
"Read about the Sea Stallion and it's historical trip to Dublin. About the adventure and sailing that nobody has dared to do in 1000 years. About the crew on board and the family abroard."
(You can shift the page 2 english.)

I read about this. Amazing.

You know what the mayor of Dublin said in a speech the other day?

"Hope they don´t burn the place down this time"

I've heard a little about it:
Many off the crew has been "taken of the ship" by the follow boat !
(an Ocean going trawler-type/steel hool)
Allthoug they where whering "surwivel-gear", they where wet inside-out !
So many of them had 2 go to the followboat 2 get heated up, many woman not used 2 these conditions, men to scared
