Hardraade vikingskipforening
The Hardraade Viking Ship Association has initiated a project to build a full-scale Viking ship, which will sail on Lake Tyrifjorden. The ship will be constructed in a traditional manner, using authentic materials as much as practically possible, mirroring the methods employed during the Viking Age.
The name "Hardraade" is derived from the renowned Viking king Harald Hardraade (1015-1066), who hailed from Stein Farm in Ringerike. Stein Farm is situated by Steinsfjorden, and Hardraade ventured far and wide with his ships. Therefore, it is fitting that a ship on Lake Tyrifjorden bears his name.
