Dragon Harald Fairhair. The construction of a Viking Dragon Ship
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Dragon ships were large longships that had carved heads of dragons and other magical beings mounted on their bow. This video shows some glances from the construction of such a ship: Dragon Harald Fairhair. We are using the best of the old Norwegian clinker-building tradition and combining this with knowledge obtained from archaeological material, Norse literature etc. Our aim is to recreate a ship with superb seaworthiness - as described in the Old Norse sagas.

How on Midgard´s earth did the Vikings manage to build such ships back in the 800´s!?!?!?! Watching these people build the Drakkar in 2010 only makes me admire them Norse even more.
+Reggie Kray Barbaric Animals? we knew the earth was not flat, we treated everyone equally (like women and disabled people having the same rights as men) we discovered America, we basically travled across the globe. no sir, we were far ahead of most countries, altho the whole "pillage and plunder of England" we dont usually talk about
Reggie Kray Dont worry, some people are just stupid...
slaves
Well people tend to think that back in thise days people were dumb, when in fact there was smart people too.
@@Alexandros.Mograine exactly this. Humanity has been just as smart and intelligent in ancient times as now. Only thing is, we have more advanced technologies so development goes faster and more is possible. But yeah intellect and smartness wise there is really not much difference
I had the privilege of taking a deck tour while the ship was docked at the Toronto harbourfront festival. Absolutely magnificent!

Woah
I hope I get to see this ship someday🤞🏼
Thank you Gunnar Eldjam and your team for this wonderful experience!
Perry, Thank you. That video is a WOW. Thank you for the Birthday e-card. We'll see you soon. Have a blessed day.

As magnificent as these boats are, the thing I find amazing is that there is virtually no accommodation room below deck.
The Vikings roamed vast stretches of frigid, stormy seas sitting in what is really just an open boat.
Tough people.
The vast majority of Viking travel followed the coast, as crossing the sea was risky. However the Danish based Vikings journey to get to England didn't involve more than a few days at sea. The Norwegian Vikings would cross to Scotland, often by way of a Shetland Isles stopover, and took around the same amount of time. These crossings/raids were made in summer, when the North Sea was at its most cooperative. The ships that eventually reached America did have a closed in area apparently.
There's no deck. It's an open boat
That's why theres space for a hundred rowers... so you can keep warm by rowing :P
Wow....that is crazy!!
I wondered the same thing!!
Interesting note: Slavs also built pretty much identical ships. The one difference? They were made entirely from wood, using wooden pegs instead of rivets. The pegs would expand when the ship was put into water, thus sealing themselves in (so higher maintenance, but lower cost and faster speed time).
Skandinavians and Slavs came to Gardarijki region at the same time, and then they mixed. So you can't say who were those guys, Normanns or Slavs. In fact one of biggest ship building centres were in Novgorod
Makes total sense, I mean they are Slavs AKA Kievan Rus AKA Vikings
i have had a love of these amazing ships since i was a small boy and visited a ship that had been found in the peat and preserved . not only a wonderful work of art but an amazing piece of engineering . it makes me smile to just look at these ships they are so beautiful. the skill level is off the scale .
Klinking is my new favorite verb.
Here i am ... for the 12th Time now in this Year. Watching this video because its apariently the best avaliable on RUclips as for good Entertaining.
This ship is incredible I really want to build my own.
The small boat from Gokstad is a little rowboat mad with only 3 straks and there's quite a few videos on how to build similar boats.
omg that is so amazing, good job on all the people that participated making this happen, im sure they have made their ancestors very proud.
to say I'm in love....would be an understatement. Thank you so very much for this video...
where's floki?
posro1988 i Am here
in Westworld bro
Floke Vilgerdsson dead 😂😂
Fishing with Baldr, if that is a Vinland Saga reference
proly fishing with baldr
I understand nothing of shipbuilding, so although this video looks incredible it's almost like seeing how to make a Plumbus to me.
Hell of an effort there, gents. What a great way to spend a couple of years of your lives.
Those Vikings and their power tools...
Their use less swords then axes becouse of lack of good quality iron but in some places maybe trees with growing nails on are common.
Don’t be shitty
🤣🤣🤣 you know if they had them they would use them.
Floki approves this boat.
It will be in Detroit belle isle by the 19th of August
Cannot wait to see it
Watching this makes me facinated. This is amazing. I can't imagine someone building this back in the days.
Utrolig kule filminfo.
Dette var kjekt å se.
Spennende!
Id love if these people would host entire workshops on how to build these longships i gladly build these if I had the chance and im american
Truly AWESOME!
Little did Ragnar Hairybreeks know when he ordered his clan to build the first longship, that 1500 years later people would be copying his design. I wonder if these workers have any clue that they are ensuring that another longship will be built 1500 years in the future? Just because it's a great design.
you can learn alott by looking at video's like these
Шедевр восхитительно 😊
This thing took two years to build. How did the Danes and Nords build these things in mere months? These are skilled workmen with modern technology. Was it a passion project that was made in the worker’s spare time?
Good to see that the spirit of floki still lives on.
The beast heads are supposed to be removable so you can scare away vengeful water spirits and remove before beaching to avoid frightening away the friendly land spirits!
This is Thrand!!! Awesome Video ,Wish I could have been there and helped :D
being recolonised.
was an amazing country once.
RIP
Did the vikings have such clamps, rivets and technology as we see to do this?
The Barbarians had to be amazing builders as well amazing warriors, excellent video, thank you.
I would not call them "barbarians"
@@J-K Well everyone was a barbarian who did NOT SPOKE ROMAN OR GREEK, Barbarian never means something else, Vikings spoke Nordic, so yes they were Barbarians, clever, crafty, proud, strong,
@@cactusmalone wrong everything we do we have inherited from Rome it is called the WESTERN EUROPEAN STANDARDS, Rome have inherited it from Greece, Philosophy, democracy, justice, senate, welfare, all the laws we have are WESTERN EUROPEAN STANDARDS, what we do not live by is sub saharan standards.
Incredible.
Awesome!
I'm definitely not saying this isn't cool as hell, but I think the Sea Stallion (watch?v=GacZE7zPbeg in Danish) is little more impressive. It is not as big but it was build almost 100% using viking technology. The lumber was chopped with axes, no electric drills or even saws used!
Amazing craftsmenship
Nice and informative, but what i enjoyed the most was his pronunciation of their names :D
Love the music!
DragonFairhair, Thanks, Merci, Gracias en Bedankt. In eene Woord Wat Schietterene schip en wat een goede Vakmanschap, geluk en Plezier Saludo.....
That's massive!
I like the viking ships very much, because I was many times in norway.
What type of wood you used? Why it doesn't broke? Very elastic wood, like a rubber! Fantastic!!!!
Paráda!!!😊 Koľko ton váži???
if you see how mutch they look like dragon boats from asia....was there a more early contact between people around the world....small ship on the drift on ocean currunts
How on earth was Floki able to build these ships all by himself in two episodes? Lol.
😆
Thank you for posting a great video!~
What what she named, and how did the launching go? Would you happen to have a video of it as well?
Great Video
kul video. Båtbygging må være ett veldig kjekt yrke.
Why have some stringers been fastened with wooden nails and others with iron nails/rivets? As it looks, there is more load on the parts with wooden nails, possible?
I've always wanted to do this.
I wonder how much it would cost to build this if one were inclined to fund a project like this?
How can a person get a set of plans ( in English) to build a large model of this
REALLY enjoyed watching...cheers...rr Normandy, Fra(where you guys invaded a while back)
Navios do dragão (viking) eram longas esbarcações que tinha esculpidas cabeças de dragões e outros seres mágicos ou montados em seu arco frontal.
Este vídeo mostra alguns partes sobre a construção de um navio deste tipo: o "Dragon Harald Fairhair".
Na confecção, usaram o que existe de melhor da antiga tradição norueguesa de construção de clínquer (é a base do cimento, originalmente uma mistura de calcário e argila, que é queimado até virar um pó fino) e combinando isso com o conhecimento obtido a partir de material arqueológico, literatura nórdica etc. O objetivo foi recriar um navio com excelente navegabilidade - conforme descrito nas velhas sagas nórdicas.
Características gerais:
Tipo: Réplica de Escaler Viking
Peso total: 70 toneladas
Comprimento: 35 m (115 pés)
Boca: 7,5 m (25 pés)
Material: madeira de carvalho
Propulsão: 25 pares de remos e
Vela: 300 m² (3.200 pés²)
Cada remo é manuseado por dois homens e necessita de uma tripulação de 100 pessoas, no mínimo. A vela exige uma tripulação de 18-24 pessoas.
A construção começou em março de 2010 e o seu lançamento ocorreu no verão de 25 de junho de 2012.

The technique developed in northern Europe and was successfully used by the Vikings and typical for the Hanseatic cog.(Wikipedia)
Hail, awesome work they were superior ships
Did the Vikings use parts of a tree with natural curves for the framing? A woman was making a ship framing part and drew the part in a huge block of wood. The result was a significant amount of waste as she made the part. She also risked splitting the wood. I was wondering if Vikings used parts of trees with these natural shapes or was that an English practice?
Wow! I guess people have always been smart in one way or another.
Looking at the video would I be right in guessing the holes in the planking were drilled through the section that had the hemp and tar on it, therefore aiding in sealing of the holes?
Although certainly a beautiful ship when seen in its entirety, I am sure, it seems all to excessive in its dimensions of planking and overall structure. Why was sawn planking chosen for this big ship rather than axe cut planks? The experience of the Roskilde replicas was, that sawn planks incurred at least the double in planking thickness as to prevent cracks in the planks but also doubling the weight. This in turn would require a much stronger keel, frames and knees. Looking forward to see it..
Are they using iron fastenings and rivets? I thought that causes iron sickness/rot In timber
Edit: I realize that is more historically correct, but Copper based/bronze would allow this beautiful ship to sail far longer.
Makes me miss Geilo and my family
nice work
A shame that they didn't use bronze fasteners instead of iron to prevent iron sickness and prolong the life of this beautiful ship.
thank yew
Haha, good one!
Imagine a group/ multiple families/tribe of vikings trying to make this vessel as demonstrated in this video. Who in the heck would be left to hunt to feed the group? Who would be left to feed the group? This is a complete group project taking years, man and woman, to build a single ship. What about the feeding of the babies? Mom is tied up. How is this possible? It happened, obviously.....but why do not anthropologists and historians explain this?
amazing
Matee I'd love a job building these everyday
What did the Vikings use for clamps?
A pity, that you used electrical powered machinery. The vikings didnt have access to electricity. In the museum shipyard of Roskilde, they build the viking long ships with hand tools only.
I am surprised the planks were steamed and then bent into place.
Yup
And now with period tools :)
Dimitri Petrenko look for: Viking Ship building & havhingsten Roskilde
Where can you download plans for.this?
Why don't the iron rivets rust in the salt water?
Does the boat ever take its maiden voyage?
Does anyone know the reason for the dragons head on the front on Viking ship ??? People in those days were superstitious and it was meant to put fear in the hearts of the enemy.
Apparently it was meant to protect against evil spirits in the sea and it was also a status symbol(ships with dragon heads belonged to some important people)
avaldsnes.info/en/viking/drakeskip/ Took the information from here and many other places said same about the protection against spirits
where can i see the launch?

Is there a name to the song playing in the background?
Who recognises the music from the game Tge pirate caribbean hunt?
SilentKiller me! Lol
how much will it cost to make ?
Vikings must have a lot of iron
I would like to work on such project.
It's kind of cheating, but Ikea sells prefab ship kits. May be something to look into if you can't get a lot of your neighbors to volunteer. :)
Those wedged wooden nails... Were they wedged from the outside as well? 7:15
@ww2 buff OK, thanks.
what in the 9 hells is this
how big is the ship again?
And theyre doing it with new tech tools
How much?
The hole ship is sealed with Pitch(Tar) inside and out.
I have never understood how they made curved bows on ships and made them watertight. Oh well. I am not a sailing man.
How much did this project cost ?
tenkajillion billion dollars
No joke
another 10 minutes of my life went by.......
Why are they having so much trouble ?
You try it, and see if you have trouble. There's your answer.
Them Vikings were big brain barbarians.
Pity not copper nails
Hit Atlantic ocean shore God bless winter wind immigration over here Nato and UN approved.
It'd be a shame with a storm hit....
Superior selective male hunter killer creativity and knowhow darling---how much wood could you chopp to support a family of five females who cant chopp hardwood period?-for a 8 month outrageous winter?--hardwood like the stuff the celts and germanics scadanavian settlers came up against in Australia----- male typical express intuitive understanding of survival lets do it men together like viking ship builders farmers sailors etc --amazing men to all men..hey-?
Got the keel wrong, otherwise good job.
explain please?

Historically inaccurate... the Norse used Milwaukee power tools.
