28 JUNE 2008 THE DAY BEFORE IT SET SAIL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\n\n\n\n

Yesterday [6 Jan 2023] and today my photographs of this Viking Longship attracted much attention and a few people who were actually involved asked me if I had and photographs of the boat in the water [arriving in Dublin or leaving Dublin] and after much searching I found a number of original Canon RAW files which needed a lot of post processing as they contained a lot of noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Viking longship – the ‘Sea Stallion from Glendalough’ – set sail from Dublin 29 June 2008. It left Custom House Quay at noon to begin a return journey to Roskilde in Denmark having been scheduled to arrive at the Viking Ship Museum there on Saturday August 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The voyage from Roskilde to Dublin and in 2007-2008 was the culmination of many years of work, and the most ambitious archaeological experiment the museum has ever carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A return voyage to Dublin took place over the summer of 2007. The ship left Roskilde Harbour on 1 July and arrived in Dublin on 14 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was put on display in the Collins Barracks, the Decorative Arts and History building of the National Museum of Ireland, from 17 August 2007 until 29 May 2008. She was then moved to the Grand Canal Dock to be prepared for the journey back to Roskilde on 29 June 2008, and shortly afterwards the National Bank of Denmark issued a 20-kroner commemorative coin in celebration of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Stallion is lying in the Museum Harbour. The longship is easy to recognise with its characteristic blue, red and yellow strakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
