Amazing how they built this ship in the Viking days. I'm working on a 1/10 scale model of it and enjoying it. Still need to decide which Dragon head for the Stem and stern.
Que maravilloso documental..no se si en su epoca las naves tenian esa dimencion..pero que increible construccion. la prueba de fuego paso es muy solida podra realizar cualquier viaje... felicitaciones a todo el grupo..Guayaquil Ecuador
Fascinating (and counter to some dopey comments below - no, its not a re-enactment- they didnt have 200 men and maidens to drill and cut everything by hand!) that even the scaffolding used is timber. Epic project- well done!
It doesn't show the engine being installed. Yes, this ship has an engine. In a video of this ship landing in New York City a person operating the controls is shown and the backwash from the propeller is seen as the ship docks in NYC.
WOW! Impressive dimensions! Is the frame material Norwegian? Why didn't the boatbuilders tie the frames to the strakes with whale bards, like in Saga Oseberg?
Did vikings use iron nails? Was the oak green wood for flexibility. There weren't any plans so how have they worked out how the ships were made? If they make a sea worthy ship well done!
I saw the Good Ship Draken in Green Bay at the Tall Ships Festival. I wish I had had my passport with me. I would have set sail with her back to her home port.
You don't. I mean, you do, by tarring the hell out of the hull, caulking the joins in the planks, but eventually yes they rust and the wood rots. That's what the crew are for :)

For a small regional kingdom of just a few thousand people, the investment required to build one of these remarkable craft is simply mind-boggling. Imagine all the harvesting, transporting, sawing, shaping, construction and forging, with just horses, water-power and human power to work with.
Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit gerade Äste (zb. Fichte) zu verwenden. Dadurch spart man Ressourcen und auch Arbeitskraft da diese bereits rund und relativ gleichmäßig dick sind. Desweiteren (sagte mir zumindest ein alter Zimmermann) sind die Äste nach dem trocknen belastbarer wie geschnitzte Nägel da die Faserung nicht abgeschnitten wird.

it would be so nice if they would recreate the tools uesed in that time period to build this ship. it lacks the beauty by using modern clips and drills

Sadly, it was not a replica of any Viking ship, it was wide, modern, with a cabin, diesel engines, and ballasted. It was made to make money, using people that would volunteer for the experience.
It was a priviledge to stand on this ship in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Impressive workmanship and a such a great way to make history alive.
only if I didnt hate the cold weather so much I would pay a lot to be part of this wonderful journey. Well done.🤩
Our ancestor where true artisans and innovative craftsmen.
@jutubaeh What the hell is your issue?
@@ferrangalvezcastaneda4968 whats urs tough guy
a wonderful work of art . imagine seeing a ship like that sailing down a river towards you ! the norse have an amazing history .
Imagine how our ancestors made this magnificient art without modern tools.
This one has a motor.
pense lo mismo...
@@philstone3426ye olde one had a motor too. His name was Sven.

WOW this video is really great 👍👍👍😀😀😀
Stunning and deep respect from Switzerland
Wow. She is GORGEOUS! THANK YOU.
How did they come up with this design so long ago??? Simply amazing!
Probably started with small boats that they lap straked together. The design got bigger as needs arose.
Fascinating video. Highly Glorious.

beautiful craftsmanship...
What a beauty! They sure knew how to build 'em back then.
every boat builders dream job, a knarr
This is beautiful.
so beautiful... i'm speechless
Wow, skill, hard work and determination.
Just amazing how it is done. A super video.
Pure awesomeness.
its amazing how these boats / ships were built back then w/o modern technology. I still don't know how they did it, and it looked the way it did.
Fascinating (and counter to some dopey comments below - no, its not a re-enactment- they didnt have 200 men and maidens to drill and cut everything by hand!) that even the scaffolding used is timber. Epic project- well done!
Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
Amazing! much respect.
Fantastic! I watched also other movies. Wonder if you make oars as well? And tried to use them?
Fantastic!
Astonishing!
incredible craftsmanship! Where do modern carpenters and woodworkers learn all that ancient craftmanship?
I would have loved to have been part of this!!!

++Frank Blangeard++ it had to have a fitted engine to comply with Norwegian and other countries maritime laws.
makes you realise how technologically advanced the vikings were to be able to build such a thing.
Una maravilla....mi admiracion por aquellos que lo construyeron..
How are the planks bent? Do you steam straight planks until they take and hold a bend? Or do are they cut out of timber with the bend?
WOW! Impressive dimensions! Is the frame material Norwegian? Why didn't the boatbuilders tie the frames to the strakes with whale bards, like in Saga Oseberg?
I know
Fantastic
Viking ship is a pure perfection
Very interesting. How did they use iron and wooden nail differntly?
+Takahiro Hirata Usually, for this type of ships, iron rivets are used for the planking and wooden pegs are used for the ribs.
Did vikings use iron nails? Was the oak green wood for flexibility. There weren't any plans so how have they worked out how the ships were made? If they make a sea worthy ship well done!
It's headed for Quebeck and it is in the Saint Lawrence Seaway as of this morning at port Baie-Comeau, Canada
How much did it cost to build this ship anyone know? I want one!!
okay I found the price folks, $400,000.00. probably a little more now, maybe. Still want one, going on the bucket list!!
You should press the rivets in instead of pounding them in. You do it with another clamp. edit: This is amazing!
I saw the Good Ship Draken in Green Bay at the Tall Ships Festival.
I wish I had had my passport with me. I would have set sail with her back to her home port.
how do they stop the iron nails from rusting in the sea?
You don't. I mean, you do, by tarring the hell out of the hull, caulking the joins in the planks, but eventually yes they rust and the wood rots. That's what the crew are for :)
9:29 you forgot the hemp boss!

I wonder how much the wood costs, alone?
For a small regional kingdom of just a few thousand people, the investment required to build one of these remarkable craft is simply mind-boggling. Imagine all the harvesting, transporting, sawing, shaping, construction and forging, with just horses, water-power and human power to work with.
Would they have used Hemp back then or would they have used wool?

wow... this was almost 10 years ago...
I am so grateful that someone is going through the trouble to do this. My attempt is cute and laughable.
is that an iron nail? how long until that iron stuff rust and decay in salt water?
Wrought Iron doesn't generally rust once the seal forms as a barrier.
how would they have drilled the holes for the Iron nails during Viking times?
Very carefully!!
They'd probably chisel carefully
Likely with a hand cranked auger
+Cristopher Bloom++ The same way as they bored them today - with a hand operated spoon bit type auger.
Hail Vikings 💪
Am I imagining it, or did I see Zeal from Tally Ho working on the ribs??
thats funny i was wondering if the norsemen were fond of ryobi or dewalt
BOSCH I’m sure

At 2.50 we see nails welded to their roves, then trimmed and clinked. That can't be right; how would Vikings do that weld?
i will love to build my own ...i will love to work for this people
Colossal !!!
Isn't all that iron going to give iron sickness to the wood and drastically limit the life span of the ship?
No "Ticking Sticks" were harmed in the making of this ship.
What I want to know is how my ancestors built ships of this size without cranes and power tools.
Bunch of people, bunch of time, basically
if i ever get money, ill be asking for another one.
Do you guys know Erik Anderaa? He is from Halvesund too ;-)
I bet you do. He is the modern incarnation of a true viking. Look up his youtube channel.
What's a music?
it would be so nice if they would recreate the tools uesed in that time period to build this ship. it lacks the beauty by using modern clips and drills
LiRan, nice idea but wholly impractical. They might as well sailed her in period costume eating period food.....
@@normanbraslow7902 thats fantastic idea，why impractical？it will be a great historical study and first hand experience
@@normanbraslow7902 they have managed to reconstruct a bridge during Song Dynasty China using only tools avalible during that time, the result is highy educational and works very well
LiRan, I agree in a sense. However, the fellow who built her did not intend that. Read his website, as that explains the process better than I can.
LiRan, they could have, but that was not the builders intention. Read his website, and your get a better understanding, better than I could explain.
How in the holy heck did they sail this across the Atlantic ocean ??😬
Where’s Floci ?

Wouldn't it be a stronger ship if you used Steel like my sword? And faster with a diesel engine like my truck?
Heil Njörð
They cheated using modern clamps and power tools and prob other things not on camera. Not a true representation
Most of the so called Vikings were in fact not Norse (Norwegians) but Danes from Denmark, who developed this type of ship.
Det är ju också 'Norse'. Norse är inte BARA norskar
Ja jag gissar då de alla var samma
Var norske de som reiste lengst. Ikke Danskar og svenskar. Danskar og svenskar heldt seg mest langs kysten.
There was no political divisions at the time. Scandinavia was a geographical expression.

It’s as close as you can get. They had to meet ship building regulations.
