"The Vikings are coming, again"
An ambitious project is underway to recreate the epic Viking voyages
made from Scandinavia to our lands generations ago.
1,211 years after the first Viking raids on Ireland, an ambitious
project got underway to recreate the epic voyages made from
Scandinavia to our land generations ago.
A reconstructed Viking ship is sailing right into the heart of Dublin
for the first time in a millennium.
The Sea Stallion is sailing from Roskilde, Denmark to the banks of the
Liffey River in Dublin, Ireland.
Upon its arrival 14 August, a ceremony at the Custom House will
welcome dozens of international crew members.
RTÉ.ie will present a live webcast of that arrival ceremony and host a
Viking costume contest.
