What kind of boat are you building and how much did it cost?
I'm building a Sailing RowCruiser, and I bought the plans from a company in America called Angus Rowboats (http://angusrowboats.com/sailingrowcruiser.html). They also sell kits, but I live on an island so the shipping would cost more than buying materials locally.
- $299 boat plans and manual (http://store.angusrowboats.com/Sailing-RowCruiser-p/plans-sailingrowcruiser.htm)
- $48 hollow shaft, wooden rowing oars plans and manual (http://store.angusrowboats.com/Wooden-Sculling-Oar-Plans-p/plans-oars.htm)
- $44 sliding seat and rigger manual and plans (http://store.angusrowboats.com/Sliding-Seat-and-Rigger-Plans-p/plans-rigger.htm)
(Discounted when you buy all three plans).
How did you raise the money to build your boat?
- Odd jobs on Fiverr: http://tidd.ly/2e993c2e
- Creating and selling my Alderney colouring book of Alderney on a Saturday market, in local shops, airport, and Amazon UK (http://amzn.to/2bst3e3), and USA (http://amzn.to/2bpRNPY).
- Paid talks to schools (http://www.schoolspeakers.co.uk/speaker-listings/sarah-weldon)
- As an extra on film productions (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2916014/)
- Nightshifts as a cleaner in McDonalds

Who are your sponsors and do they give you money?
I'm really lucky to work with some awesome people and companies. They don't give me money, but they do give me products and services in kind, and in return I am an Ambassador for them, this brings down the expedition costs for which I'm hugely thankful for.

'Save Wood Quay' placards in Dublinia
Subject
Exhibition
Description
Replicas of placards used during the demonstrations against the development of the Wood Quay site in Dublin in the 1970s. Dublin City Council's Civic Offices were built on the site of Viking Dublin, after some of the most important excavations of a Viking-Age settlement had revealed the wealth of artefacts in the area and preservation of the original layout of the city. The protests did not succeed in stopping the development, but they did raise awareness of the public appetite for preserving national heritage.
This photo was taken by the Languages, Myths and Finds group during a visit to Dublinia.
The Online Learning Website from Dublinia features interactive maps of Viking and medieval Dublin, and nine audio visual animations on historical sites in the city, available via a free online platform at http://dublinia.ie/online-learning/
An interactive map of Dublin with a slider allowing a view of the city development through the Viking and Medieval periods. Produced by Dublinia as part of their Online Learning Resources, and available for Primary Level and for Everyone.
Some important dates in the Viking Age, both in Dublin and in the wider Viking World. This is one of the first displays that visitors to Dublinia encounter. For more information, and to arrange a visit, see http://www.dublinia.ie/
