- The largest Viking ship sailing in modern times, Draken Harald Hårfagre, sailed into New York City harbor September 17 2016. She left Haugesund, Norway, April 26 2016 and sailed across the North Atlantic Ocean to America just like the Vikings did a thousand years ago. Isn't she beautiful?

The M&B memes are truly Amazing
I can be your engineer. :)
@@switchbladerich Im sorry buddy, but you don`t get along with Bunduk and Katrin. And i enjoy his training skills more than what you bring to the table.
I still pay the 300 (something) to recruit you, but it is mostly just to get your gear. :P
so just leave your scimitar and horse by the door on your way out. Kbyeee

THATS A NICE SKULL YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOULDERS
a ship like this sailing up a river in its day would have been truly terrifying.
Depends on which river and who's there waiting!
David Harrison maybe, i mean they were primarily traders so maybe it was a good thing to see this.
@@ChickenChunks Still must have been anxiety inducing not knowing whether they are traders or raiders
Bjarni Steinar yeah
Especially if it had that state of the art computer system on it back then.
I wonder if anybody on the river saw the longship and had to look twice, to make sure they weren't crazy.
Something like this happened to me a few years ago. I was standing on the parking lot of my small hometown in southern germany. Then i heard a roar from above. When i looked up, it was a real ME-262. First i didn't believe my eyes nor ears, but then i remembered: Some engineers, i think from Boeing had rebuild two of them. And one of these was on its way to the Berlin airshow for a display.
Sadly i got not the time to take some fotos of it.
You are right. But what would happen, if a New Yorker claims, he saw and heard the Hindenburg taking a round trip over Manhatten. I think, he'll ask himself, if it's time to go to the madhouse. Well I really think, he would contact the NY newspapers about this and get rich (or poor and to the madhouse).
About me and the ME-262: If I hadn't known, that two (I think?) of the Me-262 were rebuild and there was a flightshow in Berlin, I wold have declared my eyes faking or me getting mad....
Edit: Dreckfuhler
It's NYC dude you see stranger shit on the subway.
I looked at the thumbnail twice haha
I mean it's new york........
A friendly Viking invasion.
All they need now is a monastery to pillage and maybe a few Saxons to fight and they’re sorted.
@@joshuabruce9599 and if they don't have any Saxons, some Franks or Irish, Scots, Welsh, Byzantians, Venetians, Moors or Berbers would do as substitutes
@@SonsOfLorgar any defenceless peasants really
@@jnes624 as long as they are rich or good to sell on and don't eat too much.
never heard of that
The contrast between the modern steel and glass skyline, and the thousand year old sailing ship...amazing. It's like it got sucked through a time warp.
Until the turn on the thousand year old diesel :)
There was one shot where a modern sailing yacht was crossing their stern, only half their length. Very beautiful.
It has a motor and GPS close to the real deal LOL
The Draken also had a ferry bearing down on it and since it takes a crew of 100 to man the oars and only 30-34 present. The diesels were started to prevent collision.
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 They were started because its a bit harder to sail in a port with this old technology
Imagine a comedy adventure movie about a fleet of viking ships who sailed to raid britain but gets caught in a unnatural storm and a month later they spot land. It's New York City, but a thousand years into the future (present day)
Call Hollywood!
Sounds like the plot of an anime
The Vikings of Wall Street.
Sounds like a great idea to me. Although that could also work it as a genuine fantasy drama to me.
Team Gab Well, we have just had Vinland. That was some great stuff.
In 2018, I and my son saw this ship sail in to Maine around Rockland. When the ship came in, so did the fog. We waited 5 hours to see this ship, hoping it wasn't going to rain to hard. Never rained but the fog got thicker. Finally, with sail down, we saw the ship quietly appear from the mist. It was just like a movie! It docked along side of us. I helped tie it off. We took some pictures then headed home. I held on to the starboard side rail with my son. I was so proud of this ship they built. My ancestors... their ancestors must have been proud of them as I was!
When your early expedition forces somehow return in late game.
Dmitri Shostakovich what game was the game your referring to?
@Zhou Zay Generally any long term strategy game like Civilization or HOI.
Dmitri Shostakovich ohhhhhhh
After around a million years, my scout finally returns with his map of the world... to find that his civilization has already created satellites and has a complete map from other scouts already...
Ethan Valdez ah yes,
Britain's Royal Navy may used to have ruled the waves, but Norwegians are Masters of the sea from two thousand years back until now. My greatest respect to the fantastic boat builders and the crew of the most beautiful wooden ship I have ever seen.
Remember, pillage, THEN burn...
gold is gold, no matter if before or after fire. people however, tends to cease putting pitchforks into stomachs if you burn them first.

A different time and different values. You can't compare the times. It was a struggle for survival, and nature decreed that only the fittest would survive. In today's world, a trip to the supersmarket will surfice, and the totally unfit rule the roost. No wonder humanity has gone to shit.
There's a difference between vikings and nordics....all vikings were nordics but not all nordics were vikings. Peolpe that came to america came to settle not to plunge.
Wow, these graphics for Assassin's Creed Valhalla are truly next gen.
That Viking horn made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Amazing
How could anyone dislike this. This is so epic and beast. Their sailing journey is one hell of an adventure.
Mostly because they don't appreciate the value of preserving someones heritage and culture.
They dislike it just to trigger people with dislike-fetish. You know, the ones that think no one is entitled to think differently then them selves as they have the true answer always. Or what we now call Karens.
Trolls and bots
They're just jealous they didn't get to go
my brother saw that ship in my small islands harbour when he was 14 years old. He ran up to the captain and asked if he could sail with them. then he ran and packed a bag of clothes andtold my parents that he was going to become a viking and then left the same day. he was gone for 3 weeks then he returned by train from Strömstad.
Totally
totally not bullshit.
@@iuliapopescu6649 well I'm not shure how to prove it. Just think it's a fun thing that happened I was like 9 at the time. You can believe me or not. Nvm I was wrong it wasnt the Norwegian draken ship it was the Swedish ship vidfamne
Old Soul
This ship is only 10 years old....
When they went to Rhode Island, I remember seeing them there and going onto the ship. It was amazing.
Frenchy sometimes I forget Rhode Island is its own state
I was there waiting for them at 8AM. It was AWESOME! 🤩 🖤🗽
I STILL get goosebumps & feeling of Pride watching this! 🥰🙏🏼
Skål til Norge! 🥂🍾 🇸🇯
Glad you liked it! While I wasn’t on the project I was aware of it early on in the construction as they consulted with some historians at the college I was attending at the time. Even got to see them lay the keel. Very happy to see it completed.
Why wasn't there more people to greet them? I can only think it's because they didn't know they were coming! What an amazing crew, ship and voyage.

The amount of love and art built into that boat is amazing. Everything from the well treated wood, and sturdy cordage, right down to the ornamental carvings. That ship is a 'song' of Norse seafaring traditions.

This is so awesome. My Maori ancestors were mariners too and I have a huge appreciation for those cultures who's ancestors were mariners. I have always had an appreciation for the Vikings because of their all conquering spirit and physical abilities on the battlefield. What a great effort by the crew and all those behind the scenes to build this beautiful viking ship and then sail it to New York. Well done. Great effort and very inspirational. Your Viking Ancestors will be smiling down on you all and that wonderful ship from the heavens. Great to see your culture is also being kept alive by the great traditional boat building skills you have too. That boat sailed the seas effortlessly really and would be a boat one would feel safe on in all sorts of sea conditions given its sturdiness and fine craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.
respect goes the other way too, guess its just like that between sea fairing cultures
I am from the Netherlands, but have gotten a huge appreciation for Polynesian navigation.
Skål!
I love the history of the Maori and Kupe the Navigator
Rick Solomon you know , this made me think , could someone sail a longship from someplace like Norway, to New NZ ? Imagine that trip !
To my glorious and brave Norwegian brothers, thank you. This moved me. From a Dane.

This whole journey from laying the keel to arriving New York absolutely fascinating and epic. Loved it. Thank you!
Fantastic voyage. Congratulations to the builders and the crew! What an adventure and way to preserve forgotten technology and culture. Cheers!
Our world needs so much more of this. Less air pollution, more unity through ship crews. It’s really something beautiful. I’d love to see a reenactment of a boarding between 2 ships or something while on the move.
Thank you youtube, with your recommend algorithms you have warmed my cold Scandinavian heart by showing me this video.
I'm an American and that's the most of New York I've ever seen. I am more impressed with that ship than I am New York.

@@ArchieKeen1 We could have conquered Europe and America.... Those were the times when Odin lead us to the new lands no one had explored before.
You know it would have been cool if the Vikings actually thought about setteling there and making a colony in a sort there, maybe we Norwegians would control America today if that would have happend.
We’re still Vikings, just not as violent and rich as fuck
Imagine 50 of these ships suddently showing up in formation outside of New York and entering, this is awesome, but that would have been something special.
Getting past the US Coastguard, harbor police, and customs must have been the most challenging aspect of the trip. In all seriousness, outstanding accomplishment. Congratulations on building such a beautiful, stout ship, and sailing her in the footsteps of our forefathers.
Imagine You're Just Some Guy In New York, And You See A Viking Longship Sailing Into Port.
The vikings are coming! run... oh wait i am norwegian...
As if there wasn't a lot of internal raiding going on as well
You'd still have to run if they were Danish
@@KP3droflxp Before unification sure.
My Ancestors from Norway sailed across the seas to Iceland, Shetland, and Denmark and so many other ports and islands it's insane to comprehend the expansion & early world view early vikings had
I'm a Grown man, and the Sound of that Horn just made me tear up, and I don't know why!
Incredible ... I've enjoyed following the journey of Draken Harald Hårfagre from the beginning. Oh were I only younger I would have loved to be standing on the deck of this magnificent ship.
Fantastisk! Veldig misunnelig på mannskapet som fikk være med på en slik tur! Norsk håndverk på sitt beste!

I am German and I get the chills when I hear the horn. Makes me want to draw a sword and go to battle. Amazing project, much love
That is a majestic vessel. It has way more class than a fancy yacht IMO
Shouldn't the title of this video be "Sailing into Ny Jorvik September 17 2016"?
Cant imagine a ship more beautiful than this. Just amazing. Windsurfing is one of my hobbies, and i would love to be in the crew of this ship. Especially when some of my great ancestors were norwegians, who may even sailed with same kind of ships. My dad once said that one of them was known as some kind of "pirate" could that mean he was viking?
Such a powerful view.
Amazing, beautiful ship. Great job, descendants of the Vikings!
I remember actually seeing this ship in Rhode Island, at least if my memory serves me right. It was so beautiful to see and odd to look at since I was at a whaling museum at the time and happened to see it there.
Edit:
From what I was told as well, they claimed that they wanted to sail across the Atlantic like the Vikings did to prove them traversing their way from Norway all the way to Iceland then Greenland and finally to Newfoundland.
Remarkable craftsmanship & such a Iconic & beautiful ship.History should remember & give more credit to these warriors of the sea.More so than Christopher Columbus.
Why? Columbus paved the way for the modern Americas (both north and south) with the European colonization that followed afterwards. The current geopolitic, culture, religion, and demographics of the two continents, for ill or good, is all a result of his discovery of the New World. He had more influence in history than the Vikings who reached Newfoundland and seemingly disappeared from history.
This gives me goosebumps.
This project is so amazing. Just fantastic, guys.
Great moment finding great beauty....
I am 67,. At 13, I built a viking ship of just 15 inches from balsa planking for a history project. I was fascinated with Viking history. I did win the top history ribbon. I would love to have spent a day aboard, I am too old for much more. Thanks for presenting all the videos on the build and the sailing. I am an artist by nature and carved a magnificent dragon head for it and painted as fierce as I could. I had a row of round shields down each side and ores at each position. I had spent 3 months building. I wish I still had the photos but family feuds, divorce, have robbed me of all of my early artworks. Facebook page at Delmus R Ingle: Artist. I downed 350 ml of Jack Danials Tennessee Fire Liqueur while watching and wishing it were Viking Mead.
I cannot express the extreme pleasure and excitement I had watching.
Very good. When you do it you feel it. A great way to learn history.
What a beautiful longboat.
Congratulations Viking Brothers Your Ancestors are Proud of Their Kindred , Now be Wary for Skraelings !
Well done , this is why Europeans traveled across the globe , this is why we know about the stars the world and everything , thank you .
No, Europeans traveled the globe to plunder and kill to enrich their pockets. They built ships like this and learn about navigation to enable them to do so. Just ask the Aztecs, Incas, Africans, Indians, Asians, and natives of North America.
J S Vikings were mostly explorers and traders dont feed into the hollywood propaganda that every viking was a ruthless blood thirsty barbarian
J S Thats just life, everyone wanted power and riches Europeans just happened to be the best at it
@@JS-ob4oh Yes but who owns all the banks ? Lol ..
@@JS-ob4oh If the Europeans didn't do it someone else would have colonized and dominated large parts of the world eventually.. It's also not like they were the 1st to do it in the history of mankind.. It's human nature..

Thanks for sharing your journey experience to worldwide web audience.
That reminds of an old joke.
Q: What's the difference between a viking merchant and a viking raider?
A: How well you are armed.
It was a old viking tradition to dress up like st. claus when they came to a new country.
Drakan Harald, America welcomes you with open arms!
We will celebrate your journey!
The "Odin's Raven", a 2/3 scale longship, sailed into New York harbor from L'ans Aux Meadows back in the 1980's. It was on display at the South Street Seaport for a couple of weeks before returning to its starting point in Europe
Excellent Ship. But I think it was missing the rows of Shields on each gunnel. They would just add to the authenticity IMO.
Vikings never sailed with a row of shields. Shields were used during battle, never when sailing. That is a myth that look good on paintings.
@@sallhame Wait, the bayuex tapestry was a lie...
@Andreas Duess Oh wait, I misread that. Nevermind, but uh.. I thought you said they didn't mount shields on the side of their ships which I wonder how they did that?
@@credinzel6996 I'm afraid sallhame had it (mostly) right, they did sail with shields, but usually in troop transport function, where they were going into battle. Your reference to the Bayeaux Tapestry was misunderstood. William was the King of Normany (an originally Norse tribe settlement) and their shipbuilding history is one with the Norse tradition. Hence the portrayal of Norse, and in this instance, viking (which was a Norse term for raiders), ships; and the showing of shields on the troop transports. Remember, we're talking about 1066 here. In any passive transport or trading voyage, shields were never shown on the gunwales. Hope this helps.
@@karenburrows9184 Yes.
When your Afk mate comes back in the middle of the Game.
This comment is underappreciated lol
Honestly that's incredible that they sailed across the Atlantic in that thing. The world is really such a small place
Irrespective of how advanced we are today in technology and skills..... just the mere fact that this was accomplished 100's of years ago puts their technology and skills above what we have today. Extraordinary feat. Extraordinary journey.
They came from Norway to Iceland, then Greenland and finally to North America a thousand years ago, and named it Vineland, for the wild grapes they found growing there. The named the natives they encountered and traded with Skraelings. An old Norse word for people who wear animal skins, unlike the Vikings who wore woolen clothes with leather and skin outer layers when needed.
"Time to pay for a 1000 years of danegeld!!!" :D
Just an amazing sight, was such an honor to see in person!! Can you please tell me the name and performers of the beautiful song playing!!
Thank you, this is so beatidul.

This reminds me of the Monty Python sketch with the accountants who mutiny and go raiding on the high seas.
It would be great to see this wonderful ship at one of our Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia in February. Too short a notice for 2019, this event happens every 2 years in February, odd years. Perhaps 2021!

This is the coolest video I've seen in a long time.
it's all fun and games until the others vikings ships arrive and pillaging, rape and murder start.
So Tuesday in New York?
I was hoping you all would be up for some pillaging. I mean, what fun is sailing such a groovey ship without the pillaging and so on.

As dominating as the Vikings were at their historical era, they were not invincible. Like they often lost to Scottish people, nd the English - sorry: Anglo-Saxons, won them just before the Normans won these same Anglo-Saxons.
Vikings are just fashionable now, but when we look at the history, they were just one ethnic group among many who had their impact on the history we know of, yet who didn't form an empire. Not that those would be eternal either.
Were are the oars on this boat? I was under the impression this style of boat used oars also. I would love to sail one of these.
