Draken Harald Hårfagre Viking Ship tours the East cost of America

In March of 2010, construction began on what would be the largest Viking ship ever built in modern times. Named after Harald Hårfagre, the king who unified Norway into one kingdom, the great dragon ship came together in the town of Haugesund in Western Norway.In 2012 Draken Harald Hårfagre was launched and the trial sailing began. During 2012 and 2013 she was trimmed and tested in the waters along the Norwegian coastline. Then, in the summer of 2014 this Viking vessel made her first ocean going voyage, from Haugesund, Norway, to Liverpool, England and back again. In 2016, the Draken made the voyage across the icy Atlantic to America and has been touring the east coast. We caught up with her in Cape Charles, VA.
