It's the 76 at Chili's, only roomier.

We can't conquer England like the Vikings did in 1013, but we're pretty confident we can take Ona.

Year-round these waterside workshops carry the scent of fresh-cut spruce trees.

Melissa, Janet

These workshops were opened in 1997.

This replica ship is being built from the same materials as the old Viking ships of its size.

Louise examines the workmanship.

The same hand tools are used to craft these boats today as in the 11^th century.

Artifacts collected in the harbour are submerged in these water tanks for cleaning.

The Viking remnants are examined and catalogued before being sent to a national museum.

Inside the ship museum overlooking the fjord...

...five different Viking ships dating back to the 1000's are on display.

These boats were discovered in Roskilde Fjord in 1957.

They were fairly well-preserved in the mud and were excavated with great national fanfare in 1962.

The ships' pieces were carefully reconstructed over steel framework.

As more wooden ship fragments are discovered over the years...

....they are meticulously added to the skeletal frames.

This diorama depicts Viking shipbuilders hard at work.

Most Vikings were farmers, fishermen, and tradesmen.

The ships in this museum carried cargo, passengers, and soldiers.

Frock up!

Matt and Louise dress you up in their Viking love.

Janet and Matt keep a look out.

Melissa rests after a long Viking day of rape and pillage.

After negotiations with Johnny Depp fell through, the fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film was doomed.

The Vikings might have conquered even more nations if they hadn't been so near-sighted.

Avast, ye hardies! There be cheesy photo ops ahead!

You, too, can book a voyage on a real Viking expedition!
