[MR] Viking ship recreated

[Roy B. Scherer]

Good people --
         There's an AP story in this morning's 
paper which will likely be of interest to many of our group.

"The Sea Stallion of Glendalough is billed as the 
world’s biggest and most ambitious Viking ship 
reconstruction, modeled after a warship excavated 
in 1962 from the Roskilde fjord after being 
buried in the seabed for nearly 950 years.

"Volunteers are preparing it for a journey across 
the legendary Viking waters of the North Sea – 
leaving Roskilde in eastern Denmark on July 1 and 
sailing 1,200 miles to Dublin, which was founded 
by Vikings in the 9th century."
