Dragon Harald Fairhair. The construction of a Viking Dragon Ship
zhlédnutí 375KPřed 12 lety
Dragon ships were large longships that had carved heads of dragons and other magical beings mounted on their bow. This video shows some glances from the construction of such a ship: Dragon Harald Fairhair. We are using the best of the old Norwegian clinker-building tradition and combining this with knowledge obtained from archaeological material, Norse literature etc. Our aim is to recreate a s...

Dragon Harald Fairhair is looking for crew
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 13 lety
Dragon Harald Fairhair is a large Viking ship that is under construction in Norway. When finished, the Dragon will bring the seafaring qualities of a warship from the old Norse sagas to life. It will be a ship that combines ocean-crossing sailing capabilities with a warship's use of oars. Those who want to sail with the Dragon needs to qualify by going through training or they must be able to p...
DRAGON HARALD FAIRHAIR'S TEST BOATS. TOWING AND HEELING TESTS
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 14 lety
Dragon Harald Fairhair is being built in Western Norway. Before we started the construction of the large Viking ship, we built three small test boats. We did towing tests, heeling tests and rowing tests to compare the different characteristics of the hulls of the tree boats.
SAILING THE TEST BOATS FOR THE DRAGON HARALD FAIRHAIR
zhlédnutí 241KPřed 14 lety
Dragon Harald Fairhair is being built in Western Norway. It will be the largest Viking ship built in modern times. We have built three 8 m long test boats which have different variations of the hull that the large Viking ship will end up with. Small variations in the shape of the hull can mean very much for how the ship will manage in the sea. For the crew this can mean the difference between l...

    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 .

    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?

    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!

    "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!

    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.

    Why have some stringers been fastened with wooden nails and others with iron nails/rivets? As it looks, there is more load on the parts with wooden nails, possible?
