Dragon Harald Harfagre

This is a unique story about the world's largest Viking ship and how some of Norway's best traditional boatbuilders solve the task of recreating a warship with 50 oars and 100 oarsmen.

The story is told by one of the boatbuilders accompanied by stunning photography.

Together, they provide an intimate insight into the actual building process, the working methods and sea trials.

"We knew everything when we started, the rest we learned along the way." That appears just before the table of contents, and sets the tone for a remarkable book of remarkable people who built a remarkable boat.

Author, designer, photographer Terje Saether has done a magnificent job of creating this book about the world's largest viking ship. The text is in both Norwegian and English.
