The 7.7m-long Gislingebåden from 1100 CE was ‘both the last Viking ship and the first medieval ship’.

A replica is being built at Aarhus harbour by a group of young people using the traditional Nordic clinker boat-building techniques that UNESCO recognises as being part of the 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’.

@CiaraNi Interesting!
BUT (nit picking I know)
surely the boat was built in about 1100 in the common era (not BCE) - your text
The article linked to also refers to the 1100th century - should be the 1100s or 11th century!

@jayflo @CiaraNi "Vikings of the 1100th Century" sounds like a pretty cool science fiction premise.

It does!
I wonder if they have found Valhalla by then? 🚀🌠

@jayflo @jtwcornell91 'Vikings of the 1100th Century" - there'd definitely be a lot of fun twists to play with there! Valhalla will almost certainly be solarpunk.
