Summary edit

Description

The Glendallough Sea Stallion is the world’s largest reconstruction of a Viking ship. On 1 July 2007 a crew of 65 started to follow in the wake of the Vikings from Roskilde via the Orkney Isles to the Irish capital Dublin. The original ship was built by Vikings in Ireland in the year 1042. Three decades later the ship ended his days at the bottom of Roskilde fjord. Today it can been seen in the Viking Ship Hall in Roskilde (Danmark).

In view of its size and history, the warship may very well have played a part in the battle for the throne of England and in the events that culminated in de battle of Hastings in 1066 which would mark the end of the Viking era.
