I love those Ravens, I noticed them as soon as they came into view, I knew exactly what they were, but I didn't know their names, but I do now, Great Video, and a truly beautiful Viking Longship
September 30, 2018 Norfolk, VA: As part of the East Coast Tour 2018, we had a pier-side tour to discover the world’s largest operating Viking ship during its four-day stopover in Norfolk. It was docked next to the mighty Battleship Wisconsin (BB-64) at the Nauticus/Navy Museum. We enjoyed our visit with an engaging look at the modern-day Viking spirit.
Honestly i would say this is an amazing ship but true viking culture and hand made artifacts i would say make you feel there energy but this i would suggest going to norway and seeing the oslo or gokstad two beautiful presentation ships also sea worthy but beautiful go out there see the muséum its absolutly the exact thing to make you feel the energy of a germanic warrior who wanted to sail the across the open sea and make a better life .
True, but these were requirements under modern international vessel standards. Back up power, GPS, self contained water, bathroom facilities, even the minimum LOA/Beam dimensions were governed by modern regulations for construction of an ocean going vessel able to withstand worst case conditions in the Atlantic with a large crew. Still..if you watch the building of the vessel, the construction techniques, and overall detail, pride of employing these direct practices after years of studying the long ships in Oslo, the spirit of the build itself is quite remarkable. For what it's worth, I was told that there have only been several instances where they actually employed the engines, and that was during adverse docking conditions. These crews really work their asses off, and get one hell of an adventure abound the Draken. Very cool experience!
Does it have any propulsion other than oars and a sail? I ask because I saw the video of it going up the Hudson River with the sail down and no one rowing.
Yes, they must follow international shipping regulations. They should have 100 men to row the ship, but cannot have so many onboard due to safety regulations. To be allowed to sail internationally you need insurance, gps, vhf, lights and engine.
I would have been real proud to have been apart of this whole undertaking . except i would have had to have a full body armor holding my lady . id go after that cute little blond with the red cap haha
Nope. Below deck is full of ballast rocks, supplies, wires and pipes, engines, septic and fuel tanks, etc. Lots of things going on underneath. The tent is kind of sunk into the deck though and where all the crew sleep.
Well, in ancient times the diesel engine was probably named Sven, it would be about 70-110 kg and almost 2 meters high. As of fuel... It depends on how much food and water they would carry.
She is too wide in the beam, has shelters for the crew, has two diesel engines and two shafts, no oars and no Kirk Douglas jumping on the oars. She is an embarrassment to the MEN that sailed Viking ships and ripping off those that want to see her.
I think you should watch the other videos where it sails the high seas😒The ship is Very seaworthy.Built here in Norway the same way our ancient ships was.Do your homework..
In order to be allowed in the open ocean certain concessions were made. Build a bridge and get over it. It is still a thing of beauty and while not 100 percent accurate it is still better than most things you will see.
@@chrisgriffith9252 The Vikings sail across the open ocean in authentic ships, with electronics, motors. etc. It is not the boat the compromises were made for, but the crew.
I love that they have Odin's two Ravens and the Valknut.
I was just aboard her today in Kingston, NY. What an amazing ship, and her crew was wonderful!! Thank you so much for coming!
Enjoyed this amazing experience today in Kingston...so thank for the opportunity...crew was fantastic...
I'd like to sail on one of these kinds of ships now
Im pretty sure you can through a sailing school. I talked to one of the crew on a schooner at Tall Ships Charleston. They were all young college kids
Very pretty crew!
I love those Ravens, I noticed them as soon as they came into view, I knew exactly what they were, but I didn't know their names, but I do now,
Great Video, and a truly beautiful Viking Longship
MARVELOUS CRAFTED AND DETAILED SHIP, JUST LIKE A CHILD'S IMAGINATION.....
Fun to see this! I am gearing up for the Draken! She will be here tomorrow, in Chicago!

I toured the ship in Ocean City, MD.
It's a beautiful ship.
where do they shit
With all the modern amenities and diesel engines a viking could want! I wonder the the tap functioned as well 1100 years ago.
They still shit and piss over the side, is that authentic enough?

Lol - just noticed that ! , these folks are quite gnarly for doing this though . They needed the technology because they didn’t have the gods ! Skal !
These women are beautiful.
Is there no roof in the Viking under which the Vikings can huddle in the cold?
Vikings be like "I AM the cold!"
The old vikings were Not wusses
They used sleeping bags made of furs and sometimes made tents on the decks they also slept next to eachother to stay warm.
where can we find this ship today

What tour ?
Is the tour guide really making weather small talk?
I would have been real proud to have been apart of this whole undertaking . except i would have had to have a full body armor holding my lady . id go after that cute little blond with the red cap haha
Where do they sleep?? The audio messed up and I didn't hear about the arrangements.
Half the crew sleep in a tent, on deck, just aft of the mast.
I was aboard her in Green Bay.
Are there no quarters below deck?
Nope. Below deck is full of ballast rocks, supplies, wires and pipes, engines, septic and fuel tanks, etc. Lots of things going on underneath. The tent is kind of sunk into the deck though and where all the crew sleep.
@@MedievalTrebuchet okay thank you!
Restroom? 😅
There are two "heads" at the fore of the ship just under the deck. Connected to a septic tank.
interesting group.
I wonder what horsepower the diesel engine is and how much fuel they carry?
Well, in ancient times the diesel engine was probably named Sven, it would be about 70-110 kg and almost 2 meters high. As of fuel... It depends on how much food and water they would carry.
It's about 100 000 horse powers and it can carry about 5 million cubic of diesel
THE VERI BEST SHIP OLD SISTEM NAVIGATION THE NECESITY VERI STRONG EQUIPAGE FOR NAVIGATION !!!!!!!!
Look buddy, the girl as a girl is beautiful, but you can't see anything from the details of the ship itself, bad video it hurts.
that guy has to be canadian he sounds like me lol
I bet you're right. I can pick up that accent up anywhere.
norwegian
Canadian confirmed.
He is the Chief Engineer.
How is this a tour?
Drew Barrymore look-a-like.
She is too wide in the beam, has shelters for the crew, has two diesel engines and two shafts, no oars and no Kirk Douglas jumping on the oars. She is an embarrassment to the MEN that sailed Viking ships and ripping off those that want to see her.
and where the heck are the vikings?? an american jabber, and a norwegian guide, that's all - wtf!!
