Viking longship Draken visits NSHOF in Annapolis

This Weekend!…..The World’s Largest Viking Longship Draken Harald Hårfagre on Public Display at NSHOF Through Monday

Annapolis, Maryland (September 14th) – Hosted in partnership with the National Sailing Hall of Fame (NSHOF), the Draken has docked at the Annapolis City Dock adjacent to NSHOF and will offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visitors to relive nautical history in a way never experienced before. Draken will allow guests to not only marvel at this stunning Viking ship – but also to interact with its crew, as they share their personal experiences of thrill, fear, and exhilaration while enduring the ship’s 2016 transatlantic crossing – reliving the Viking discovery of the New World more than 1,000 years ago.
