Skuldelev 2, in the foreground, was an ocean-going warship, probably the type called a 'skeid', built near Dublin around 1042. Beyond is Skuldelev 6, probably a 'ferja', built around 1030 for fishing and trading.	A 1/10 scale model of Skuldelev 2. The reproduction, Havhingsten fra Glendalough (Sea Stallion From Glendalough), was in Dublin at the time. Here's a link to a report of the ship's 2007 voyage.
