The Draken Harald Hårfagre, the largest Viking longship built in modern times, has begun its summer tour of the East Coast of the United States. After departing from Mystic Seaport on July 9th, it is now bound for Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Only the first three ports of call have been announced as follows:
- Boothbay Harbor, ME — July 13-15
- Plymouth, MA — July 17-20
- Rockland, ME — July 22-25
An additional eleven port calls will be announced. Draken Harald Hårfagre will be returning to Mystic Seaport in October.
I am guessing that if this boat is a pain to sail is why the vikings would settle in areas far from their homeland.
