The viking longship Sea Stallion of Glendalough sails through the
Limfjorden in Northern Jutland on August 3, 2008 after its journey
across the North Sea. The ship, a reconstruction of a 30 metre long
warship built in Dublin in the viking age, was on its way back to the
Viking Museum in the town of Roskilde where it built as a
reconstruction of the Skuldelev 2, which was excavated in Roskilde
Fjord fifty years ago. Research has established that the ship was
originally built in Dublin by vikings in 1042. (HENNING
