The Viking at the
World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893
Viking ship replicas are one of the more common types of
ship replica .
Viking , the very first Viking ship replica, was built by the
Rødsverven shipyard in
Sandefjord, Norway . In 1893 it sailed across the
Atlantic Ocean to
Chicago in the
United States for the
World's Columbian Exposition . Formerly located in
Lincoln Park ,
Chicago, Illinois , the Viking is currently undergoing conservation in
Geneva, Illinois ,
United States .
[1]
There are a considerable number of modern reconstructions of
Viking Age ships in service around
Northern Europe and
North America . The
Viking Ship Museum in
Roskilde , Denmark, has been particularly prolific in building accurate reconstructions of archaeological finds in its collection.
