Using only human power Vesterheim Museum 3 to row its 50 oars and the wind behind its 3,200 square foot sail of pure silk, the crew in- tended to make a stopover at the Isle of Man before continuing to England. Unfortunately, Birthdays 3 three days into the voyage, the ship encountered large waves and high winds, causing the Member bio – Harruff 4 mast to snap and plummet overboard. Virtual Train Ride 4 Vicki Inglis, a volunteer crew member who blogs at http://thesevagabondshoes.org/ , was asleep on board at the time and recalls being “woken by a loud crack by my head, like the Roald Amundsen 5, 7 sound of a locker slamming shut, followed by rumbling, then urgent Book Review 6 shouting.

On July Draken Harald Hårfargre Treasurer - Burt Bittner approaches Burray Sound 10th, the captain announced that the crew and ship would forge on 317-842-4042 toward Liverpool, with slight adjustments to their route. They would go through the Cale- [email protected] donian Canal rather than sailing around northern Scotland without a sail. They navigated to Inverness, passing through Loch Ness and on to Fort Augustus, Neptune’s Staircase, the Membership & Editor - J. Rud Isle of Mull, and Islay. Despite not having a sail, the ship arrived in Liverpool ahead of 765-653-3636 schedule. [email protected] During the ship’s passage through the Caledonian Canal, two crew members who are boatbuilders, Arild and Ola, traveled around Scotland in search of timber for a new mast that could withstand the voyage back to Norway. They selected a massive Douglas fir from Dumfries, which was transported by semi trailer, arriving just after the longship. Once the boat was docked in Wallasey near Liverpool, the ship was cleaned and re- tarred and the sail stretched, before the boat was opened for public viewing.

The maritime industry plays an increas- ingly important role in the changing world economy, and this new series offers an outlet for reviewing trends and developments over time as well as analysing how such changes are affecting trade, transport, the environ- ment and financial markets. Each title in the series will communicate key research findings, shaping new approaches to maritime economics. The core audience will be academic, as well as policymakers, regulators and international maritime authorities and organisations. Individual titles will often be theoretically informed but will always be firmly evidence- based, seeking to link theory to policy outcomes and changing practices.

  • Baltic Sea Cruise from Oslo to Gothenburg
    Baltic Sea cruise from Oslo to Gothenburg Sat 01 September 2018 – Sat 08 September 2018 It is no exaggeration to say that this will be the best sailing trip of the season! On this summer Baltic Sea cruise between Norway and Sweden, we explore the scenic coastline of the narrow Oslofjord and the West Swedish archipelago. Days at sea alternate with nights at the sheltered mooring or in the harbour. Depending on wind and weather conditions, there will be stopovers with shore leave along the Scandinavian coast. The sailing trip ends in Gothenburg in the summery province of Bohuslän. Enjoy relaxing days on board – no previous knowledge or experience is needed for sailing on our windjammer. This is where you embark: Oslo / Norway Our crew will welcome you on board in the port of the Norwegian capital Oslo. Embarkation takes place at 19:00 hours. Afterwards, you will have dinner together in the comfortable lounge, where you will quickly feel at home on the Eye of the Wind's deck and get to know your fellow sailors. The focal point of the harbour setting is the town hall with its two distinctive block towers, which is the venue for the annual awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize. The location of the city in the inner fjord creates a unique atmosphere. Make the most of your time by exploring the Royal Castle and historic town of Gamlebyen with its exposed medieval city walls. In good weather and clear visibility, you should take a trip to the Holmenkollen Olympic ski jump, which is located above the city and offers a fascinating view of the inner Oslofjord.
