Thomas Finderup is the lead shipwright on this project and he worked at the Roskilde viking ship museum during the years they were building the large replica ships there, he is unbelievably knowledgeable. I have still not been to Roskilde but it is high on the to do list.purple peril wrote:That's fab, Robin. What an amazing project to be involved in!

I've wanted to go ever since. Hmm, maybe a Scandinavian ship-based educational tour next year, combining several sites...
It's also reminded me of when I used to spend holidays near Macduff and Banff in the 70s as a kid and used to enjoy watching them make and repair the wooden boats.
Looking forward to hearing more about this
