  • Secrets of the Viking Navigators How the Vikings Used Their Amazing Sunstones and Other Techniques to Cross the Open Ocean Leif K
    Leif K. Karlsen has 45 years of experience at sea, including many years in the North Atlantic where he served as a professional navigator and radio eectronics officer with the U.S. Merchant Marine. Author Karlsen, left, at the helm of the replica Viking ship the "Borgundknarren" during an open ocean voyage in the Fall of 1996. "Borgundknarren" is from the Sunnmore Museum, in Alesund, Norway. Using clues he gleaned from the Icelandic Sagas, his experience as a professional navigator, and from his voyages on “Borgunknarren“—a 60' Viking ship replica—Leif K. Karlsen reveals the secrets of Viking navigation. Karlsen has done extensive research on the Viking "sunstone" and "horizon board" and explains how they work. This is an interesting, valuable, and educational contribution to the understanding of the Vikings’ success as navigators and seamen. —Dr. Alf Lunder Knudsen, Editor Emeritus Western Viking The Norwegian Voice of America -Since 1889 If “cutting edge” can be used in relation to Viking navigation, this information is definitely it. Leif Karlsen is the world’s foremost scholar on the Viking sunstone. His well-researched and intelligent work on Viking navigation examines the sagas and combines that information with the experiential and practical research of just trying it out. It’s a comprehensive and accessible study that’s also a compelling analysis of the secrets of Viking navigators, and their unparalled success as sea-born explorers. —Kristine Leander, Ph.D., Director, Leif Erikson International Foundation Most navigators have heard of Viking sunstones, but few realize they are more than legend. Leif Karlsen has brought them to life.

  • Secrets of the Viking Ships Their Hulls Differed Greatly from Those of Traditional Square-Riggers
    Secrets of the Viking Ships Their hulls differed greatly from those of traditional square-riggers. Here’s why a unique Norse take on naval architecture made the Viking longboats a legend that still flourishes today. By David W. Shaw ART BY MARTIN DRIVER 6 SCANDINAVIAN REVIEW AUTUMN 2016 AUTUMN 2016 SCANDINAVIAN REVIEW 7 N THE FALL OF 1879, TWO TEEN- age boys on the Gokstad farm in Sandefjord,I Norway, decided to do some digging in an old Viking burial mound on the property. The mound was well known to locals. In fact, they named it the “king’s mound” because it was so massive—about 16 feet high with a diameter of nearly 150 feet. As the kids dug in the peat and clay, they unearthed what appeared to be the remains of a ship. Of course they couldn’t be sure, but they went home saying they’d found something mighty interesting in the king’s mound. Word spread, finally reaching an influential antiquarian expert at the University of Oslo. After investigating the site, he determined that the mound was home to a Viking ship. Excavation began in 1880. The ship was meticulously restored and new timbers were added when the original parts were beyond repair. The vessel, known as the Gokstad ship, is on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. It’s a magnificent sight that inspires imaginings of the Viking Age. It also provides fascinating evidence that helps clarify why these open boats were capable of crossing the North Atlantic on epic journeys of exploration at a time when Europe languished in the tumultuous Dark Ages.
