Our faering

In 2002 master-craftsman Richard Amy, the President of the Australian Viking Ships Museum, created a full-scale replica of the 6.5 metre faering that was buried together with the Gokstad ship.

Here he is shown in his workshop in August 2002, before the faering was fully completed.

The finished faering has subsequently undergone its appropriate sea-trials. It is now on permanent loan to the AVSM, and is an integral part of the museum.
