[Artemisia] Sea Stallion, Viking Ship sailing

[Mark Chapman]

For anyone interested.
A reproduction of an original Viking ship (using reproductions of original tools only!).
"The Sea Stallion departs tomorrow at 16.00 pm. (July 1st)
There will be plenty to see at the Viking Ship Museum, when the Sea Stallion on Sunday July 1st will set out and then head for Dublin, the capital of Ireland. 

Lokes Frimænd (a Viking fighting group) will fight to the last drop of blood, musicians will play a last musical farewell, archers will compete and tell all about the techniques behind the longbow, the market place will set the setting for fine trades, and - most importantly - 65 people and all their equipment will slowly but steadily find a place on the Sea Stallion before the great expedition for Dublin. 

For one month and half, the ship will be the crews only home on the 1000 nautical miles long journey across the North Sea, into the Atlantic Ocean and south through the Irish Sea. The crew must fight through the toughest waters of Europe and some of the most challenging waters of the world north and west of Scotland. 

The Viking Ship Museum will welcome the public Saturday and Sunday from 10-17. And Sunday afternoon many months and years of hard work will reach their climax; the Sea Stallion from Glendalough embarks on its historic set sail at 16:00 PM. "

You may be disappointed if you fail,
but you are doomed if you do not try.
