THE VIKINGS SHIP.
A CRAFT A THOUSAND YEARS
OLD Is UNEARTHED.
For Centuries 1t Rested in a Nor
wegian Tumuius-A Repro
duction Coming to the
Worlds Fair.

X SMALL vessel, the exact simili-
~ tude of the oldest surviving
NJ relic of the greatest seamen of
the Middle Ages, will soon
journey from New York by water
through the Erie Canal and the lakes to
Chicago, where will be exhibited this
relic OF the past. The vessel of which
this is an exact reproduction, made by
order of the Norwegian Government, is
no rude affair, although it is 1000 years
old. In its fine lines, careful ccnstruc-
ton and exact finish we find much that
the best art of the shipbuilde- has failed
to improve.
This craft herself may have visited
under her owners command the whole
north of Scotland, Ireland, and even
England. One just like her must have
been sailed by Left Eriksson when he
landed upon the cost of Vinland, pre-
figuring the remarkable voyage now
made by the duplicate of the ancient
ship.
As to this particular ship, however,
its age is not ascertsinable with any de.
gree of accuracy, nor to whom it be-
longed. All that we do know is that
she was placed where she was found
somewhere during the Ninth or Tenth
Century. She doubtless belonged to
some Viking who made his piratical
cruises from the great Sandetjord, as she
was disinterred from Gokstad. q mound
on that sound, IN 1880. The fact that
the mound, which was about $50 feet in
circumference, was made of blue clay,
accounts for the preservation of this
wonderful relic.
Such interments and such discoveries
of them have been made in other parts
of Scandinavia as we'll as elsewhere, but
this is the largest and most perfect ves-
sci yet found. Professor Engelhardt
found one in 1868 at Ny Saur, in Schles-
wig, iorty.fvc feet long, and another was
found in 1867 at Tune forty-two feet
long. This one is seventy.seven feet
eleven inches long, sixteen feet seven
inches beam, and FIVE feet nine inches in
derth from keel to gunwale amidships,
drawing some four feet of water.
The tumulus, where she was buried,ls
now mile from the sea, but geological
changes show that the water once washed
its base. The boat was evidently drawn
out of the water on bed of hurdles and
moss. The sides were then covered with
clay, the hold filled with earth aud sand,
and the mound built up over it. The

always the case in these mounds, go that
