Njord, the Viking ship replica

Njord is a carefully reconstructed Viking ship based on historical findings, designed to explore Viking maritime skills and navigation. Built with traditional techniques, it features a long, slender hull and a single sail, allowing it to sail across rough seas much like original Viking vessels. The replica serves as both an educational tool and a symbol of Norse maritime heritage, demonstrating Viking craftsmanship and seafaring prowess. Its construction and seaworthiness are tested through voyages, helping archaeologists and historians better understand how Vikings traveled, traded, and explored distant lands during the Viking Age.
