A beautifully decorated pleasure craft for river travel, too little freeboard for the North Atlantic... |
Tools for the homestead, including cutters, scrapers, a warp-weighted loom weight and a lamp |
Food serving implements, with some nice decorations |
Nice decorative work on their reproduction ship as well |
Replica Viking navigation instruments, including a sun compass (after the Wolin artifact) and a Calcite (Calcium Carbonate) sunstone crystal. Also, a raven. It's probably not an original, but they DID contribute to navigation! |
Sternpost for a longship and useful information about the onset of the Viking Age |
A saexring, with benches set so the rowers could easily reverse direction |
A later era dinghy. Note the absence of lapstrake construction. |
A nice faering, showing the attachment of the steering board |
Oðinn |
Another view of the steering board |
It's Seattle: short portage. Too well built to not put it to use... |
Runestone U 136 from Broby bro, Sweden, ca. 1020 - 1050 AD: Old Norse transcription: Æstriðr let ræisa stæina þessa at Øystæin, bonda sinn, es sotti Iorsaliʀ ok ændaðis upp i Grikkium English translation: Ástríðr had these stones raised in memory of Eysteinn, her husbandman, who went to Jerusalem and met his end up in Greece. |
A reproduction runestone, getting more authentic by the year |
