The Viking is a replica of the Gokstad ship. In 1893, under Captain Magnus Andersen, she sailed across the Atlantic (from Bergen, Norway to New York) and on to the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago (via the Erie Canal and Great Lakes). ![]() |
Please, help us.
Read a Daily Herald article about the stabilization work and watch news coverage of this historic Viking ship at CBS news. |
Other improvements have been made to the exhibit. One is a new viewing ramp that allows young and old alike to see inside the ship. Now there is an urgent need to clean and chemically treat all of the Viking ship's thousands of rivets. Please help with a contribution. |
