The largest Viking longship of modern times has completed its expedition and docked at Mystic, CT after crossing the Atlantic and visiting North America.

On a quest to follow the route of Leif Eriksson to North America, the world's largest modern Viking ship sets sail this week.

A replica Viking longship, the biggest built in modern times, has completed a month-long journey from Norway in the track of Leif Ericcson.

I'm surprised it only took a month! Must have been quite an adventure.

The length of time gets less surprising when you look more closely at the "top of the world..." on a globe. Suddenly it becomes clear how close together those lands up there (Norway, Scotland, the islands, Iceland and Greenland) really are!
