We had taken the first step towards what will become a replica of Vestfold\u00b4s third \u2013 and largest \u2013 Viking ship, Gokstad. Regardless of the fact that no other Viking ship has been copied more often than Gokstad, this is the first time a real archaeological replica will be built, based on new measurements and scans of the original. This includes large pieces of wood too damaged by time to be remounted when the original was restored. Thanks to our friends at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, we were given access also to this material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As was the case when we built our Oseberg replica, new drawings have been made by Vibeke Bischoff at the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum. The drawings represent a huge investment for our small foundation, but are paramount to ensure the best possible result.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The laying of the keel started when Viking lure blower Arne Petter \u00d8delund called for assembly, then followed by Viking-type throat-singing by Elfi Sverdrup. Chairman Einar Chr. Erlingsen related some of the main achievements since the building of the Oseberg replica during the years 2010-2012:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is said that there are no longer any shipyards in our part of the country. Nothing could be more wrong. For the last 11 years we have operated the only permanent Viking shipyard in Norway at this very spot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then went on to relate some major events, like building the Oseberg and Klastad ships, several smaller boats, the Oseberg wagon and bed, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He ended his speech by thanking the sponsors, after which boat builder Jan called the audience to assemble around the 17.5 meters long keel. And presto, it found its firm and secure place within its building cradle. Here we go again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
