Saga Farmann has completed the first leg of this year\u2019s voyage in the Mediterranean. It was a fantastic experience for the crew, who sailed the ship from its winter quarters in Rome\u2019s port city of Civitavecchia to Varazza in Liguria.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, the crew had one memorable experience after another \u2014 from celebrating Norway\u2019s Constitution Day on May 17th to a visit in Pisa and promoting stockfish in Genoa, just to name a few. Everywhere it went, the Viking ship drew attention and enthusiasm.
\u201cThis was especially true in La Grazie,\u201d says Jan K. Karlsen, who captained this leg of the
voyage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had set aside a full day to meet with local schoolchildren. In addition, we were given space at the local museum. David Kro Barlaup, who was both crew member and filmmaker on board, made a short film that is now being shown at the museum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the old maritime city of Genoa, the ship was part of an exhibition at the Galata Maritime Museum. True to its name \u2014\u00a0Farmann\u00a0means\u00a0merchant\u00a0\u2014 Saga Farmann also served as a venue for an event hosted by the Norwegian Seafood Council. Stockfish was the star of the menu \u2014 quite literally. A delicious bacalao was prepared by a nearby restaurant and thoroughly covered by local media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time you read this, the crew will be safely back home after two amazing weeks. With a new crew now on board, Saga Farmann has visited Thor Heyerdahl\u2019s Italian town of Andora, in collaboration with the Thor Heyerdahl Institute and Vestfold Museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so the adventure continues \u2014 and continues\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
