Product Description

Synopsis
Join the pioneers of a highly ambitious project to reconstruct a fully functioning warship of over a thousand years old. Roar's Circle documents the two-year project by the Danish Viking Ship Museum to accurately re-build a Viking ship from raw oak trunks, using traditional Viking techniques and tools, and finally to set it sail on the open seas. This book is the first representation of the complexity of Viking shipbuilding, as the modern-day Danish team discovers for itself the skills and parts necessary for completion of Roar, the 'master' ship which still roams the waters today. This book is not just a study of the precision and expertise demanded for reconstructing a Viking ship, but also of the characters who helped build it, their individual preferences for construction, their drive and endeavour.
