OK. I thought it was an interesting date coincidence that Hastings was Oct 14, and this posting started on a similar date. Those old guys calendars were not always 100% accurate, and the mail was very slow in 1066.
Nevertheless, the longship info was interesting as were the videos. Thanks for posting.

Starting in 1950, there has always been a "Viking" in our family as a boat name. My paternal grandparents were both from Denmark. We appreciate the seafaring achievements of the Vikings.
