Sobre este item
From the d.j. flap: "In 1997, journalist and history buff W. Hodding Carter, along with a ragtag band of amateur sailors, set out to retrace Leif Eriksson's journey to North America. They sailed a handmade ship modeled after a traditional Viking "Knarr". It was the first voyage by Westerners to precisely follow the Vikings' route in nearly a thousand years.
Beginning in a small boathouse in Maine, Carter's fifty-four-foot open-decked Viking boat, the 'Snorri', took shape from wooden planks and individually pounded iron rivets. Over the next year, the 'Snorri' sailed from the ports and fjords of Greenland through the Arctic circle to a vixtorious landing at l'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland."
"Through the extraordinary images of photographer Russell Kaye, and a colorful running text from Carter, the chronicle of this remarkable voyage is captured in rich detail."
