Would
Draken Longship have been allowed a "free" tour of the Great Lakes if they'd removed the engine?

The Stallion was an experiment. They had some remains of a 1000 year old longship and assembled the pieces on a steel frame, much like they assemble pieces of an crashed airliner today. There were many pieces missing. They built the Stallion using the mock up, and came up with a best guess where there was a question.  NB Look up Sea Stallion on U tube. There's a 90 minute video that covers it all. It can be difficult to watch. |
A "Cliffs Notes" video of less than 5 minutes appears here:

The audio of the rushing water has a musical
affect!
Although the bilge-pump is a manual one, the base appears to be an aluminum casting.
That whisper pole appears on the
Sea Stallion—at the arrows:
