The Sea Stallion (Havhingsten) Reconstructed Viking Ship in Rørvig Harbour

Reconstructed Viking Ships

Havhingsten fra Glendalough (The Sea Stallion from Glendalough) is an accurate reconstruction of the largest of the Skuldelev ships (Skuldelev 2), a 30m long warship. The ship was reconstructed by the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde using traditional materials and construction techniques, and sailed to Dublin and back in 2007-2008. It has a crew of 65 volunteers, who sail it at weekends and for a longer voyage in the summer, refining how it is sailed.
