This ship, the Freydis Joanna, was on display during late June and early July 2009. Freydis Joanna is a replica of a Viking longship from 850 A.D., built at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark. Craftsmen used replicas of tools from the Viking period to build the longship, using traditional materials.
