As a once wooden boat owner I am fascinated by the worlds different ethnic peoples on how they crafted their ships so many years ago and even today. Many similarities between various ethnic groups. Amazing engineering and skill that is necessary to build these magnificent ships! I'm honored to see this!
Back in the 1950s a Viking Ship rebuild came up the river Themes, U. K. The crew in old Viking dress, They said they had come too invaid Britain, So a groop ove University students set out in a rowboat with dust bin lids for shields and floor mopes for weapons, And threw tomatoes at them, Or to them, There was a stand off, And the Vikings said they would come back. There were offers from France to assist the Vikings. It was more fun than the football finals.
@Fran Ra You don't know the damndest thing of what my ancestors did. All you get your information from is deluded Christian monks from an age long gone. They are to be revered for their courage in battle, their amazing boat-building and much, much more.
@Fran Ra Holy shit nevermind, it's a bigger jack ass who should've clarified it as a joke rather than go on a rant after clarifying it. Must be another troll or not.
Its fascinating how these peoples were seen at many points in history as brutal raiders, not so long ago.. and now are they the one of the most respected, peaceful and civilized neighbors a nation could wish.
I love these ships, so elegant and efficient. We have been to Roskilde/Denmark last year on our bicycle tour to visit the ship museum and the museum harbour, where new viking ships are recreated.
thank you for posting this Brilliant video i never realized till now the amount of skill time n the enormous cost it takes to build a beautiful replica of a Viking ship Great to know these rare skills still exist and are kept alive
You could use many words for hoisting the sail,but easy or easily does not spring immediately to mind.But then again I didn’t take into account the fact that your vikings .Beautifully made boat,how they made such things in the day is mind blowing.
If you lot hadn't come up the river Slaney on regular raiding excursions I would not be here. We even kept the locals name for us when we decided to stay. Excellent and beautiful looking boat. I hope you get good use from her.
They didnt built it using old methods. They used powertools and other modern tools. If you want to see true replicas, you have to go to Roskilde, where they have build an even longer ships, entirely by old norse methods.
The Dane is correct, but Roskilde is not the only longship in Scandinavia built using old methods. There’s three or four in total. One of them is docked in Tønsberg in Norway, an original-tool replica of the Oseberg ship. I know because they tried to hire me back when I worked next city over.
Just reading "The age of theVikings" par prof. Anders Winroth and watching this is just the perfect side dish. The book is as much interesting as this ship is well built.
FYI: Viking ships spent a whole lot of time in rivers so each was built accordingly. A deeper draft for deeper rivers and a bit shallower draft for shallower rivers.
Some did. In the Roskilde Ship Museum we have a large "Knar", which was used for trade and transport, also sailing to Iceland and Greenland. We also have several types of warships and maybe ferries?
jjajajajajajajajaaa ..now they are 31 dislikes english , they were customers of the Vikings ... they must miss the sound of the horn , and their friendly visits .. jajajajajajaaaa
Wonderful! I have been able to trace my ancestry back to the Highlands of Scotlands, the Lord of the Isles (Somerled), and through him to Norse Jarls & kings of Mann, Northumbria, & Norway; including Harald Fairhair (my 31st great-grandfather). I would love to sail on it! Thank you for sharing this.

How about all the Mayan and Inca invasions of other empires. They were much more brutal to. Why should whites feel bad over our ancestors, double standards thats why. Yous are jealous of our great success and want to destroy it and justify it anyway yous can, but its comes out of jealousy.
People from Thailand are not trouble makers like Muslims but if they are brought in to many numbers it is a problem. Even if yous did not want to over take if millions of yous are brought in it will just inevitably happen.
@@crazyemu9338 Wrong actually. It really is being destroyed by insane politicans and stupified voters that keep voting for them. The immigrants don't come into our countries by force, but by being allowed. And nothing is being done about it.
Is it based on a original ship ? Like the Seastallion Of Glendalough (Roskilde, Skuldelev 2). Just asking, because the danish ship, similar in size is based on one of those they found in Roskilde Fjord.
Confused. Great video and a remarkable achievement for sure. But why at 5:30 did they mention that the sail needed to be raised when there was no wind (makes sense, yes) but then a strong gale wind sound was dubbed in.............thumbs up non the less.
where are you going to sail and set port I hope yoy don't plan to sell across the Atlantic but if you do go the way the Vikings went cuz of weather and storms its me or safer even tho it really isn't cuz Vikings have gotten lost as well from that route
Up here in Caithness in the far north of Scotland we have quite a few heritage boats. Here's the ones I remember, Isabella Fortuna, girl mina, spray, Dilligent, Kelvin star, barbara, sea ranger, aurora, dolphin, fulmer, Ida and quite a lot more! Caithness used to be in Norway too!
. . . may its sails always grace the horizon/and its keel kiss the sea/it will take my wariror lover on his voyage and when he's finished 'twill bring him back to me.
I've read accounts of masts being lowered when the longships went inland because of trees hanging over some portions of river. How the hell would they do that with such a ship as the Dragon Harald?
The ancient ancestors would be proud of this re creation long ship build and I suspect Odin Thor Frey freyja would be too , hail the gods , it just goes to show the hard work and skill needed to create a large fleet of these ships to sail to new lands , and for one to go down in a storm must of been heartbreaking for the builders when you see the work carried out to build just one .
You guys did a great job. It's a beautiful Viking ship. Yeah, feel proud, you deserve it. It seems the guy playing the horn didn't have a good breakfast that day 😋 I would love sailing on that ship. I'm curious about the coin at the base of the mast (for good luck I suppose). I'll check other videos of it, sailing. Bravi!
Ingemar Oskar true . i am always amazed by the shape it is so wonderful . it is so ahead of its time . these ships must have scared the hell out of anybody they raided . no one would have seen anything that advanced .

hahaha. damn funny
Wish I was there , on the ship ..... hahaha
@David Odegard English , not 'Brits'
@Cryptos Cryptos Cold War relic anyone ..........
@Cryptos Cryptos so you should step up and do something about it.
How wonderful the tribute to Lindisfarne, the holy island across the sea to the Celtic lands and the chapels upon that sacred shore.
this, this is how we respect our ancestors. Beautiful.
@Fran Ra no no no they weren't muslims😉👌

@Fran Ra You're the kind of jack ass to degrade a chinese's interest in his heritage by bringing up modern day china.

@@elgitarr_ Amazing craftsmenship.
A truly beautiful ship, hail Odin and the Gods. A great way to honor the ancestors.
Norway: Let’s built biggest viking long ship ever made
England: Prays for god to not be raided
I LOVE you keeping your historic legacy alive.
In modern Greece, anybody who DARE to study openly the ancient Greece, the warfare, all... they "labeling" him as NATIONALIST!
An absolutely beautiful recreation of our ancestors technology, craftsmanship, and hard work!
That hull is perfection.
Its fascinating how these peoples were seen at many points in history as brutal raiders, not so long ago.. and now are they the one of the most respected, peaceful and civilized neighbors a nation could wish.
How civil are they, being the number one country resting their society on legalized coercion and theft.
now, we are ready to sail west towards england. Skål!
Southwest, but I can I join you??? Then we'll discover the Americas.... again.
Skål!!!
Yes, please do and liberate your Germanic cousins from the grip of the British establishment 🏴 ⚔️ 🇳🇴
I love these ships, so elegant and efficient. We have been to Roskilde/Denmark last year on our bicycle tour to visit the ship museum and the museum harbour, where new viking ships are recreated.
Rumor has it navies from all over Europe went on high alert the moment Dragon hit the water.
thank you for posting this Brilliant video i never realized till now the amount of skill time n the enormous cost it takes to build a beautiful replica of a Viking ship Great to know these rare skills still exist and are kept alive
Are you guys planning on invading the west coast of Ireland and taking captives? I have some suggestions for places you might want to visit.
my god i can hear the English screams from here
Bit late mate, we're Anglo Saxon now..
😂😂
Watch out France you know your next
🤣🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺
Save us o god from the fury of the northmen
That baby was sitting just across from my office when I last worked in Norway. Couldn't have asked for a better view :)
Beautiful ship! I have been fascinated by the Vikings ever since I read the Longships, Voyages of Red Orm in high school.
Congratulations well done
A beauty only few will have taste .
Many kisses from the sea !!!
You could use many words for hoisting the sail,but easy or easily does not spring immediately to mind.But then again I didn’t take into account the fact that your vikings .Beautifully made boat,how they made such things in the day is mind blowing.
A truly inspiring piece of engineering and ship building. Outstanding!
Saw it in Bergen in 2013. . It is beautiful and a work of art. Thanks for this video. :-)
What a great job buy all the master ship builders who built the dragon ship. 10 stars for all of you
If you lot hadn't come up the river Slaney on regular raiding excursions I would not be here. We even kept the locals name for us when we decided to stay. Excellent and beautiful looking boat. I hope you get good use from her.
This is a beautiful build. I am glad that they build it to old Norse methods.
They didnt built it using old methods. They used powertools and other modern tools. If you want to see true replicas, you have to go to Roskilde, where they have build an even longer ships, entirely by old norse methods.
Rolf Kristian Knudsen many thanks for letting me know!!

Bellissima straordinaria opera di lavoro complimenti a tutti voi.
It would have been really cool to see how many of the spectators could fit on the boat.. I bet you can squeeze 500 people on it. 😊
Just reading "The age of theVikings" par prof. Anders Winroth and watching this is just the perfect side dish. The book is as much interesting as this ship is well built.

Some did. In the Roskilde Ship Museum we have a large "Knar", which was used for trade and transport, also sailing to Iceland and Greenland. We also have several types of warships and maybe ferries?
Why not just have a shallow draft for all rivers ??
Not simply, but simply beautiful!
Hopefully the ship is still being maintained and used as a living testimony of and to Viking history!👍👍
How are the decks treated? Are they oiled with perhaps linseed oil or some other method?
Why not put something on the cloth sail, like a dragon since the long ship is named, "Dragon." and what about the dragon up front ?
A huge effort to bring back Norway's past and glory. !!
Як добре що транслюють таку прекрасність.просто нарадуватись не можливо які чудні кораблі.

fimbles101 Haaaa yup
Because it was to cold to wash in Viking times there were no boilers!
@Markus Patients stfu racists shit
Love that Norway as a country is still sending raiders out into the world.
Just following tradition.
it's great knowing that there are people like this in the world .
Where's the rest?! Have you posted the finished boat elsewhere? Where's the rest of the story?! This is magnificent.
"Today, we drink Lindisfarne mead from curved horns!"
That it was brewed by St Aiden's Winery on Lindisfarne sent a shiver up my spine! Very symbolic!
This mead was surely plundered there!😂
Must have been really important if Santa was able to take time from his busy schedule to dedicate it.
M...may Thor grant a successful voyage.
Possibly the most beautiful man made object I've ever seen.
Wow! I did not realize how big these things were/are.
Did it ever actually make it out to sea?
Anyone know how much this silk sale weights and how much a sail made of leather or linen this size would weight?
I would sure like to see some sailing that the ship has done in the last 9 years.
Wonderful!

Crazy Emu Sure is. Aslong as you Stay on the countryside its ok tho, all immigrants seek shelter in large cities
If they take over the cities the city side is as good as gone.

I believe it's done that way for the first set of the sails , initial shaping up.
"Hey, guys! Climb aboard and let's go knock over a monastery!"
Okay I find that horizontal capstan fascinating. Was this truly a thing on large Viking ships of old? Learn something new everyday.
where are you going to sail and set port I hope yoy don't plan to sell across the Atlantic but if you do go the way the Vikings went cuz of weather and storms its me or safer even tho it really isn't cuz Vikings have gotten lost as well from that route
Toasting the ship with Mead from Lindisfarne? Is that some kind of sick joke on their part?
Amazing prject though, and a stunning result.

Is it a copy of a known ship, as most Viking ships built in Denmark in the later years? After all we have many more types to chose from.
I've read accounts of masts being lowered when the longships went inland because of trees hanging over some portions of river. How the hell would they do that with such a ship as the Dragon Harald?
très beau résultat !! Félicitations ...
Beautiful craftsmanship
I did wonder what had happened to the dragon head!, Look forward to next video
The ancient ancestors would be proud of this re creation long ship build and I suspect Odin Thor Frey freyja would be too , hail the gods , it just goes to show the hard work and skill needed to create a large fleet of these ships to sail to new lands , and for one to go down in a storm must of been heartbreaking for the builders when you see the work carried out to build just one .
Is there no rudder? also is there ballast?
Wow that must be the biggest Viking ship ever built.
I think the one they found buried is slightly bigger.
02:10 why is he playing the last post???
You guys did a great job. It's a beautiful Viking ship. Yeah, feel proud, you deserve it. It seems the guy playing the horn didn't have a good breakfast that day 😋 I would love sailing on that ship. I'm curious about the coin at the base of the mast (for good luck I suppose). I'll check other videos of it, sailing. Bravi!
How was this thing financed?
How many men will it take...to propelled this craft forward?
What happened to the Dragon's head carving that was to be part of the prow of the ship?
read the last part.
WTF, it’s almost 2020 and this is the last video? Did you guys sink it or something?
What an awesome vessel recreation.
So nice that ship. Vikings forever!!!
My God that ship is gorgeous!
When will we see the longboat sailing
Now THIS is a launching! Not that stuffy solemness we usually see.
Are there some internal compartments for crew and luggage?
yes 12 first class cabins with wifi and bedding.
WOW! Amazing ship! It is very round in the hull, does it roll a lot, like Fram?
Have they got a bilge pump ready! All new timber clinker boats leak till boards swell!
Y que pasaba en los días de lluvias y tormentas, eso se convertía en una gran bañera? No tenía ningún refugio interno para los marinos?
Ah yes, lindesfarne... the og viking spot
Where did the crew sleep?
Excellent stuff bro
a work of art and an engineering wonder .
Sure, but it couldn't hurt with some decorative wood carvings
Ingemar Oskar true . i am always amazed by the shape it is so wonderful . it is so ahead of its time . these ships must have scared the hell out of anybody they raided . no one would have seen anything that advanced .
I wonder how many were launched in the late 700’s that sank ???!!!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Hey!
3:26 Mrs. Barbie Santa Claus just spilled her vodka right on the dock!! 😂
yup just like the vikings..they used power lifts to hoist it on the water and erect the mast.
Congratulations, Scandinavia!
So?!?! Was it tamed?!
1:10 Not unlike placing a quarter at the end of a long concrete bridge pour.
20 yrs. Txdot Inspector of new bridge & roadway construction.
whre is the dragons head?
They don't have a cabin?
Nice to see this boat in haugesund harbor, my second hometown.
what in the 9 wolds is this
She is beautiful! 😍
Congratulations and fair winds.
We owe you a beer! Bravo!~
Captain, where is my cabin?
