- This clip is from last summer (2013), when Draken Harald Hårfagre was training along the Norwegian coastline outside Vestlandet. She was handling really well sailing in speeds over 11 knots, even though it took a lot of people to handle the 300 square meter sail. This summer Draken is crossing the North Sea to Scotland. Follow this voyage on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.
The more I see of this ship undersail the more she appears (to me) to sail just like a giant wind-surfer. Just skimming across the surface of the waves. Incredible.
Magnificent ship!!!! Watched the video on the construction...Hats off to the builders.Job very well done !!!!!
yes absolutely stunning craftmanship!!!!
Wow, what a super ship!
Can't wait to hear of the numerous English monasteries they can raid with that bad boy :)
lllllllllllĺlllllllllĺlllll
Hahah the easy way....bad languages says that the fleet of bad boys goes to bottom when they meet the Byzantine fleet in Mediterranean sea!!! rumors or true!!!
Hahahahaha... Long Live Ragnar Lodbrok...
There aren't any monasteries left, only mosques 😜
@@TitoLukason Mosques are not Islamic counterparts to Monasteries. Churches are. There are 1500 Mosques in Britain compared to 40.000 active churches. Monasticism is forbidden in Islam, so no Islamic monasteries to rob.
It's amazing how fast that thing is clipping along
Just think, this is thousand year old technology. They built ships like this and sailed them without any modern tools or navigation. It's so great that this kind of craftsmanship still lives. A wise man once said, "you can't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been."
I think the idea, the build, the work, the excitement of the sailing, dangers and learning curves, shown the video with the music of this clip work brilliantly together.
im not norwegian, but if i am i'll be very proud and honored to be among the people to build this and sail that boat good job to all the people that participate and help build that boat
Thanks to you and all your associates for your effort. Reading stories, seeing pictures is nothing compared to seeing a video of the real thing. It is amazing how far we have come as a civilization.
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods...
We drive ours ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I'm coming
Its hard to believe how fast this ship is. True craftsmanship.
It truly is magnificent congratulations to all of those men and women who had hands on the build wow wow wow thumbs up my friends
I am crossing my fingers for the next selection of deckhands, I would be so proud to sail on this masterpiece of engineering and feel the raw power of the ocean and the elements just as our ancestors before us must have.
Truly awesome. I am envious and respectful of the build art and the sea craft . I also imagine a more than few people slept really really well when they got home. Happy, but deeply tired.
What a Beautiful Ship, its a real pleasure to watch the wind drive her effortlessly through those swells, she has the grace of a Mermaid, and to think these vessels were plying the Northern Latitudes 1200 years ago is truly astounding and amazing
Gorgious. Hats off to traditionalists like these. I'm sure it costed a fortune but it's grand!!
This is why 100 Viking warriors are supposed to man this vessel..
Ever heard of people called passengers you dumbass
@@sgtdornan5211 lmao
@zak ryals they had wool which keeps you warm whether it wet or dry
@zak ryals You can't seriously believe that the idea of passengers originated with the Mayflower. You are aware that humans have been sailing for millennia, right?
Yeah viking warriors not weak small regualer humans
i love it! you can see the ship flexing in the sea but not loosing speed at all
Gods, she's beautiful! What an experience!
Wow what engineering to achieve such a feat. The team work & accuracy to sail it must have to be spot on.
Fantastic. I always come back to watch all the videos of the Draken sailing.
A greyhound of the seas. She wants to go. Best wishes to her, and all who sail in her, from Skotland.
Beautiful ship and the crew. May she sail safely and with joy.
Luv it.....kinda get an idea of what the Vikings would experience in the travels to distant lands. Hardy group of people.
hardy x 2 =4
Good grief! That ship is like a top fuel dragster of the sea. She lays down flat through the waves and just hightails it across the waves. I think she'd give our Bluenose a run for her money. An absolutely amazing build. No wonder the Vikings were attack, pillage and go home warriors. They had the transportation to do that. "Just off for a few days of pillaging Helga. Be back shortly!"
Vikings spread Civilization
Big, strong and very intelligent
Demonized by Christianity as psychos
True detailed history is highly complex
Viking innovations, amazing global story
No one documentary shows even half of it
Yes, love your neighbor, unless he is homosexual, a free spirited woman, a heathen, a jew, a muslim, a free thinker, or living any other form of "sinful life". Then he/she must be purged and his/her ideas destroyed. That`s your Christianity, atleast in a historical perspective. It`s been a scourge on civilization and enlightenment for a thousand years.
And let me add, the Franks were worse pilliagers than the vikings during the 8-9th century. And they were all christian. Their leader, Charlemagne, even commited genocide killing 4000 heathen saxons in the name of God.
The old gods were better because they didn`t have any clear rules, every man and woman could express her own beliefs and opinions, without risking some priest branding you a heretic.
EdOfTheNorth Why the fuck are u driving a ford if u are a man of the nothern lands!!! Get a real volvo!!! I am a proud Swede and no shit head is going to trash my history!
Relax old mate. You and Ape boy both have a misunderstanding of "Vikings" their history and culture in a factual sense. The Germanic tribes/nations - Saxons, Engles, Jutes and Geats along with the Danes, Norse and that began to invade and colonise Britain after the fall of the Romans around the 5th and 6th centuries - then followed by the Danes and Norse who again invaded the "Anglo Saxons 'in the 9th century (and of course the Celtic Irish - creating "Dublin" were all eventually Christianised to some degree whilst maintaining much of the old gods seasonal celebrations, names, language, art, craft, music and lore. It's such a rich tapestry and not a black and white thing of 'Christain's v Pagans. There were no "Vikings". "Viking" means to "go a viking" - go pirating.
@@apeman2035 they were very intelligent! some say they sailed as far as china and japan because of the discovery of umpfburt the sword. which some say was made using wootz steel!
MARVELOUS DRAGON SHIP, LOVE THE FOOTAGE, PLEASE KEEP IT COMING......SALUDOS! FROM THE BALEARIC ISLANDS OF SPAIN.....
The sun in your face, the splash of the ocean, the taste of salt, adrenaline pumping, and the thrill of speed and adventure! What a ship!
И небо! Голубое, огромное, бескрайнее и бездонное, дышащее простором и дарящее непередаваемо восхитительное чувство СВОБОДЫ!!! :)
@@user-egr3Isw2lt TRUE! "And the sky! Blue, huge, boundless and bottomless, breathing space and giving an indescribably delightful feeling of FREEDOM!!! :)"
I'm surprised how well she beats up to wind'ard. I always wondered how that would look under a square sail. Thanks these videos are great.
Amazing build,. watching the Dragon on the water running before the wind brings tears to my eyes
This just goes to show you that the Norsemen didnt just sit in their boats and sail along. There was a lot of work involved in sailing one of these magnificent ships. It's hard to believe that such a thing of beauty could fill peoples hearts with terror and dread when they saw one coming their direction. And it's amazing how it literally skips along the surface, almost like a hydroplane! No wonder they were so fast!!
it fills my soul with joy .
It´s a gigantic canoe, nothing more than that but the craftsmanship it´s beautiful.
Seeing this ship makes me proud to be of Norwegian ancestry and a sailor! Well done to the people with the vision, skill and motivation to build such a masterpiece. I wish I was on board with you, but at least I get to see your videos. They're a joy to watch.
Amazing achievement and such a graceful ship 👍🏼
That's 10.4 knots speed over ground? Well done, that's a very fast Dragon!
Hello, I am a french mommy helping my daughter, 9 years old, on her next classroom presentation. The theme is "the Drakkar", would you agree that she uses your video for her classmates to illustrateher homewrok ? Thank you for your answer.
+Shoopa No problem!
and they went to America in one of those. Talk about balls !
Actually ... they came to Canada firstly... if not ONLY !!
SORRY .... EH !
Kenneth Kustren, well... have you heard about the American continent ? North and south. Faen heller asså.
jujitsuman68 yeah right the first people to make it to North America were likely the Romans and the Vikings and there's no way the Egyptians could survive on "boats made of Reed's)
What I'm curious about is how they ate and drank, 100 people even on a boat of that size seems like a lot when you add in provisions for a trans atlantic journey.
Such fearless and knowledgeable seafarers. They revered their ships so highly that they even buried their kings in them. Probably my favorite culture of all to study and admire. This video-series has been a walk through time. Hats off to those who gave birth to this glorious ship. Sail hardy!!
The Scandinavian dragon ship is one of the most beautiful and functional things ever created by the human species. I'm tearing up just watching the way it sails...
Beautiful sight. Lots of power in that square sail. She is planing. 10+ knots?
Sail: (clips the water)
Everyone: mhhh such power
The Norwegian people must be very proud of this boat and the accompanying traditions.
I wish I knew it was visiting America two years ago. I live less than 2 hours from NYC.
sailing that ship must be like listening to rock music, just freaking cool!
Dscott Boris I find rock music utterly annoying. Do you have another metaphor for me?
This boat is probably the most beautiful recreated boat along side the Hermione
I'd love to come and see this fine ship when it gets closer to my home. My Family lineage goes back before Christianity in Norway and Denmark and we built boats right to the 1970's when our Grandfather passed away after building his last Chesapeake bay Deadrise. Our Family didn't immigrate here in the U.S. until the late 1880's . But we still hang on to our Roots and Viking heritage.
I admire your preserving the culture.
a lot of skill involved in making and sailing
wow!! voces o construíram e navegaram essa coisa! maravilhosa vista....por um momento, senti meu espirito junto aos vossos...congratulações, amo voces !! abençoados sejam, e os que vos inspiraram. bons ventos!
Nice build, but could of used some information. Like how fast did it go, why didn’t it tip over, without a keel ?
I can't imagine how much pressure is on that sail in those winds. Impressive to say the least!
Would it be in poor taste to have them run a mock raid on lindisfarne on Easter, or something?
Hell of a project. Congratulations to all those involved.
Did her bow actually "flexed" when she broke the waves at 02.18? Is that natural on clinkers? Anyway, stunning ship, pro crews. Cheers from Borneo !
+Gabriel Lucas Lee
Probably yes. It is quite flexible.
Clinkers are light. Therefore flexibility is important. Otherwise it would break.
As I am told, that´s the trick of the construction. Keeps the boat in one piece in heavy seas, and makes you lose less energy, retaining speed and keeping strain from the mast foot.
The age ole saying "if it's bending, it ain't breaking" holds true for clinker built boats. It's actually what sets them apart from a lot of other hull types. They flex, twist, bend, and shutter, yet they seem to be able to go through anything without the slightest hesitation.
Kinda like aircraft construction. The wings bend, flutter, and flex to keep everything intact. If it's rigid, then it'd just snap at a defined point and that's obviously not good hehe.
She, the ship, rides the waves.
Grandiose.
One of the most beautiful things I ever seen
Beautiful piece of art!
Amazing speeds. Many thanks for sharing this.
I seen the other videos of them building this ship let me tell you what beautiful work beautiful ship well done I'm not sure if you called a ship or boat or vessel
Guitar player listens to Stones.
Beautiful ship, saw it in Portland, Maine.
Wie ist das eigt mit dem Kiel, wird dort Ballast eingelagert oder warum liegt das Boot so stabil?
Absolutely breathtaking.
Floki would be proud 👏 🙌
Everything about this vessel is exciting to see. It must be something marvellous to be aboard that boat in a wind & sea like this...new ways to get hurt though, unfamiliar rig if you are a " sloop sailor"
It looked like it was moving very well, what sort of speed I wonder?
65 monks in England disliked this video.
Beautiful ship,bizarre music choice.
That's right!, The real Vikings didn't often play unplugged!
that hull... with a simpler rig... would be even more of a beast. Please don't get me wrong, it is a gorgeous craft, historical and proud, but it moves so beautifully it (the hull) could take on several different rigs with less people (dangers?) and more efficiency , in my honest opinion.
Olden-day passages in big waters must have been quite terrifying for everyone, basically you'd be fighting for your lives to stay above the waves, in a pretty much open boat, though, I suspect, it rides like a duck, that doesn't keep the weather out for the crew much. There are seas out there that might beat that up badly in a big storm if you were short-handed.
It's like some big, wonderful, flexible, wild, wind canoe, and such an extraordinary vessel!
Me like.
Talk about FREEZING your ass off! I bet everyone was exhausted and happy to to get back on land!
Great looking ship BTW!
Having the shields along the sides would have added more protection. Possibly lashed in place. I think they also closed off those oar holes. Some Deck boards were loose to allow bailing. Goods were stored below. Being so wide it didn't require a keel. Really moves.
She leaves no wake, skims across the seas❤️
Wonderful craftsmanship
Как же я вам всем завидую! Вы супер!
What speeds did you reach with this beauty? I imagine at least 25 knots.
The record speed whas set this summer at 13. something knots. I am not sure what it was over ground, though.
So they have a small tent on it? Is that where the crew sleep?
What is the maximum number of crew?
I wonder where and how they sleep, eat, take a dump and etc during a long voyage?
Anyway I really love these videos.
Takahiro Hirata The ship is open, and the 32 members of the crew sleeps in the tent you see in the pictures.
Draken Harald Hårfagre Are their holds beneath the deck that the crew is on or is that it just empty space or what?
Zach M It's the mead tank.
+Zach M The ballast fills the space under deck, also two small toilets and food storage. The only shelter for the crew is a small tent. -Draken Crew
Did I miss a video? The dragon's tail is easily seen, but where's the head?
What was sail made of 1000 yrs ago? flax/linen? what wood is she build of?
Hemp and Oak
Love from Friesland!
Absolutely incredible.
6 years later Valheim players drooling over one of these.
Skip the music...rather hear the ocean
It looks like that joker is laying down some serious speed. Wow!
Have they raided anywhere with this thing yet? If not, what's the point?
What a relaxing journey! I think I saw someone spill some of their daiquiri.
What a beautiful sailor...
If you fell over board, what would happen?
Was this vessel ever on the Vikings series?
How close to the wind could these ships sail?
just confirmed that sailing these kind of ships is a whole lot different from modern sailing
I wonder if in a thousand years from now someone will build a German WWII submarine and sail (swim) it across the Atlantic, and celebrate.
why would we be doing that when we can travel at light speed
*WHO INVENTED THE SPACE ENTERPRISE?*
1543 - Jesuits publish book tilted, "On the Revolutions of the *Heavenly Spheres"*
1560 - Jesuits begin converting China to Heliocentricism
1572 - Jesuits recommend reforming the calendar based on Heliocentricism
1582 - Jesuits reform the calendar using Heliocentricism (Gregorian calendar)
1601 - Telescope invented
1611 - Jesuits claim stars and wondering stars are spinning, orbiting, *"Heavenly Spheres"*
1651 - Jesuits map Moon inventing impact craters, mountains, etc (Selenography)
1763 - Jesuits invent "atomic theory"
1809 - Jesuits invent Theory for Transmutation of Species (now called Theory of Evolution)
1931 - Jesuits invent Theory of Big Bang, another ejaculation into the virgin source
As shown, the Holy Roman Empire instituted Heliocentricism, as the next centuries ticked by these science fiction stories began entering the major Universities (all faith based); from this point on the people were taught to replace Faith (pretend) with Theory (pretend).

*Question: What year did Religion (faith) allow Science (theory) to take over the Space ENTERPRISE?*
I want to see them do it with no CNC or 3d printing or whatever they have then.
Schpankme Verimuch what does any of this have to do with celebrating histort first off... second off all these things you speak of are philosophies created by man to explain the basic principles not for some werif bullshit of this new religion of scienctism...
Why?
It is a shame that National Geographic did not record the series on the construction of this ship.
Viking Sailors were tough, fearless Bad-asses with nothing to protect them from the Elements.
They Conquered and Reshaped the entire medieval world in less than 500 years and we still live with their legacy today.
LOL Go read something other than the TV show.
Read about phinisi boat, its interesting...
Well, the sound of the sea would have done quite well. Why that painfull to the ears electric guitar? Doesn't add up.
The editor of the video is a bit of a tool.
2:14 look at the wood structure flexing
yup, I didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing it out
It's supposed to do that to a certain degree
Really amazing craftsmanship from all these magnificent builders. They did everything perfect, and created an awe aspiring ship.
@1.50 u can c the hull bend, anyway really awesome, fantastic vessel.
Why no shields on the side. These were not just ornamental or to frighten people. They acted as spray dodgers as well.
Yeah I know, I see what looks to be the holes for the oars and holes above it for the shields to go onto...
what speeds were achieved???
How close to the wind can this ship sail? Beam reach?
GhostOfJulesVerne No keel, no swords... it will drift away like crazy.
Did Wickie have a day off? Didn’t see him......
Ok, so I don't quite get something, on a ship of this design, a 'bowl' hull, and being there are no scuppers...in a torrential storm, would not this ship start to fill with rain water, and eventually flounder? Would all the Vikings be put to bucket and over the side? On any sealed plank deck of European ships, any wave water or rainfall, would pour off the decks, by means of the open scupper holes for that purpose....but this ship, has no such water drain reliefs...
WAS THE MAST CRACKED ??
for now it's my wish - to take a ride on that Draken.
Seems that the boat makes good speed. Nice
