The 114-foot Viking ship replica *Draken Harald Hårfagre* serves as a commercial vessel under the Norwegian Maritime Authority, requiring a certified crew for all command positions.2:14 Built in 2010 in Haugesund, Norway, the 70-ton open-deck ship features a flexible hull design that necessitates significant structural reinforcement for ocean crossings.0:59 During a 2016 transatlantic expedition from Norway to Newfoundland, the crew navigated via the Shetland Islands, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland, following historical trade routes to minimize time spent beating against prevailing winds.11:06 The vessel relies on a three-watch system for its 34-person crew, who sleep in a communal tent on deck.16:18 Operations require constant bilge management, as the open design allows water to flow directly into the hull.17:15 The ship utilizes auxiliary engines for battery charging and emergency pumping but relies primarily on sail power.23:34 Future plans include a historical expedition to the Mediterranean to film a documentary series on Viking trade routes.3:50
