GreatScott Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I hope some day I'm rich enough to write the check they'll need to recreate a SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuthbert Collingwood Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you want to see boat building done in a traditional manner go to Roskilde in Denamark. They brought up the remains of several traditional viking boats from the bottom of the fjord, and researched the tools and techniques used in building them. They have built fully accurate working copies of the boats and take them out on the fjord as well as to other cities. http://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishigami Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well I hope they one day get their replica wish even if it is not a SoL. I think I saw in a documentary on the replica Götheborg that it is actually pretty difficult to get a replica authorized since it needs to adhere to modern regulations. So a ship of that size needs to be motored, have the appropriate transponders, communication and navigation equipment and so on and so forth. It’s apparently not just about the manpower and wood… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
