The Oseberg Viking Heritage Foundation constructed two longships modeled after the archaeological Klåstadskipet from 998. The Saga Farmann sailed from Tønsberg, Norway, touring Europe with some overland transport. This land transport method mirrors historical practices of dragging ships overland. The Saga Farmann will navigate the Thames, passing through Tower Bridge on August 26th at 10pm, and remaining in London for one day. It will depart from London on August 27th, passing through Tower Bridge again at 4pm, highlighting a unique event for Viking enthusiasts.
The Oseberg Viking Heritage Foundation has built two modern longships based on the archaeological reconstruction of "Klåstadskipet" from the year 998, one of which is the Saga Farmann.
The Saga Farmann has been sailing around Europe, making a few land transport gaps, as the Vikings often dragged their longships overland when necessary.
The longship will row up the Thames on Tuesday 26th August, passing through Tower Bridge at 10pm, and will remain in London for one day.
The longship will leave London on Wednesday 27th August, passing through Tower Bridge at 4pm, amid excitement for Viking activity.
